- PSA 10: only 1 sale in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $4,006 from 47 sales, last on Nov 7.
- A PSA 10 here is worth about $4,006, above the limit of PSA Standard. PSA would move it up to Super Express at $349.00. The verdict includes this.
- Promos come in stamped and plain versions. Check that the sales below match your exact copy.
In the last 7 days, 1 PSA 10, 5 PSA 9s and 1 PSA 8 sold.
PSA 10s are 19% 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 4.7× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 47. The verdict uses PSA. A price far out of line with PSA is held back until it is checked.
PSA 10$4,00647 sales
CGC 10$84617 sales
SGC 10checking4 sales
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $3,115 from PSA, $704 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.
%
Cracking pays if that chance is at least 3.0%. At 15%: +$334 versus selling the 9 for a net $412.
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
- CenteringAbout 55/45 to 60/40 or better on the front, 75/25 on the back.
- CornersFour sharp corners with no rounding or fraying.
- EdgesNo whitening or chipping, especially on the back.
- SurfaceNo scratches, print lines, dents or holo wear under a light.
