Which grader’s 10 sells best
A PSA 10 sells for 3.5× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 105. The verdict uses PSA.
PSA 10$260105 sales
CGC 10$74.075 sales
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $155 from PSA, $33.86 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 38%. At 15%: −$44 versus selling the 9 for a net $39.91.
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.
