- PSA 9: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $348 from 45 sales, last on Oct 31.
- 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, 4 PSA 8s sold. PSA 10 last sold on Oct 3 and PSA 9 last sold on Oct 31.
PSA 10s are 20% of this card’s PSA 9 and 10 sales. Owners sell their best copies, so this is not your chance of a 10.
