Grade it

Grading beats selling raw if your copy has at least a 0.9% chance of a PSA 10.

0.6% if a miss grades PSA 9, 2.7% if it grades PSA 8.

Only a PSA 10 beats selling raw.

  • PSA 10: only 1 sale in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $2,880 from 17 sales, last on Nov 2.
  • PSA 9: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $90.15 from 43 sales, last on Oct 24.
  • A PSA 10 here is worth about $2,880, above the limit of PSA Standard. PSA would move it up to Super Express at $349.00. The verdict includes this.
  • Older card: raw prices often include played copies, and PSA 10s are scarcer. Judge by the grade your copy can realistically reach.

In the last 7 days, 1 PSA 10 sold. PSA 9 last sold on Oct 24 and PSA 8 last sold on Oct 24.

PSA 10s are 28% 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

PSA 10s sell highest for this card. PSA has the most sales, 17. The verdict uses PSA. A price far out of line with PSA is held back until it is checked.

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 3.6%. At 15%: +$244 versus selling the 9 for a net $77.81.

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.
