- PSA 9: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $29.75 from 90 sales, last on Oct 12.
In the last 7 days, 3 PSA 10s sold. PSA 9 last sold on Oct 12 and PSA 8 last sold on Oct 24.
PSA 10s are 77% of this card’s PSA 9 and 10 sales. Owners sell their best copies, so this is not your chance of a 10.

Which grader’s 10 sells best
A PSA 10 sells for 2.6× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 302. The verdict uses PSA.
PSA 10$90.00302 sales
CGC 10$34.8045 sales
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $7.68 from PSA, −$0.21 from CGC. Turnaround and resale demand differ too; check the grader board on Grading costs.
Already have a PSA 9?
Crack it and send the raw card again, or sell the 9 as it is. A miss pays a second grading fee and usually comes back a 9 again.
%
Keep the 9: even a PSA 10 would net less than selling the 9 ($25.41).
A card that graded 9 once is less likely to get a 10 than a fresh copy, so set this lower than you would for one. Cracking a slab can also damage the card.
Before you set your odds: what a PSA 10 needs

- CornersFour sharp corners with no rounding or fraying.
