- No PSA 8 price qualifies, so a copy that misses a 10 is assumed to grade PSA 9.
- A PSA 10 here is worth about $3,475, above the limit of PSA Standard. PSA would move it up to Super Express at $349.00. The verdict includes this.
- A PSA 9 ($1,983) is also above your tier’s limit, so it would cost $199.00 to grade.
In the last 7 days, 16 PSA 10s and 10 PSA 9s sold. PSA 8 last sold on Oct 6.
PSA 10s are 78% 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 1.4× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 867. The verdict uses PSA.
PSA 10$3,475867 sales
BGS 10$4,22649 sales
CGC 10$2,56288 sales
SGC 10$1,7554 sales
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $3,575 from BGS, $2,655 from PSA, $2,157 from CGC. The 10s are not equally hard to get: a BGS 10 is far rarer than a PSA 10. 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 18%. At 15%: −$37 versus selling the 9 for a net $1,720.
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.
