- PSA 10: only 1 sale in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $36.00 from 26 sales, last on Nov 2.
- PSA 9: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $8.54 from 24 sales, last on Oct 17.
- No PSA 8 price qualifies, so a copy that misses a 10 is assumed to grade PSA 9.
In the last 7 days, 1 PSA 10 sold. PSA 9 last sold on Oct 17 and PSA 8 last sold on Aug 17.
PSA 10s are 52% 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 2.6× a CGC 10 of this card. CGC has the most sales, 115. The verdict uses PSA.
PSA 10$36.0026 sales
CGC 10$13.60115 sales
SGC 10$13.203 sales
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets −$18.60 from CGC, −$39.16 from PSA. 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.
%
Keep the 9: even a PSA 10 would net less than selling the 9 ($7.01).
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.
