- PSA 10: only 1 sale in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $141 from 34 sales, last on Nov 2.
- No PSA 8 price qualifies, so a copy that misses a 10 is assumed to grade PSA 9.
- Promos come in stamped and plain versions. Check that the sales below match your exact copy.
In the last 7 days, 1 PSA 10 and 3 PSA 9s sold. PSA 8 last sold on Oct 16.
PSA 10s are 65% of this card’s PSA 9 and 10 sales. Owners sell their best copies, so this is not your chance of a 10.
Raw price
Recorded observations through Nov 9, 12:00 AM UTC. Grading takes months, and the raw price can move while you wait.

Which grader’s 10 sells best
A PSA 10 sells for 4.4× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 34. The verdict uses PSA.
PSA 10$14134 sales
CGC 10$31.9932 sales
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $51.68 from PSA, −$2.65 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 63%. At 15%: −$53 versus selling the 9 for a net $10.76.
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.
