- PSA 10: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $203 from 12 sales, last on Oct 21.
- PSA 9: only 1 sale in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $37.99 from 7 sales, last on Nov 3.
- 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 9 sold. PSA 10 last sold on Oct 21.
PSA 10s are 63% of this card’s PSA 9 and 10 sales. Owners sell their best copies, so this is not your chance of a 10.

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 49%. At 15%: −$49 versus selling the 9 for a net $32.56.
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.
