- PSA 10: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $800 from 18 sales, last on Oct 17.
- PSA 9: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $75.00 from 5 sales, last on Oct 11.
- No PSA 8 price qualifies, so a copy that misses a 10 is assumed to grade PSA 9.
- Promos come in stamped and plain versions. Check that the sales below match your exact copy.
No PSA 10, 9 or 8 sold in the last 7 days. PSA 10 last sold on Oct 17, PSA 9 last sold on Oct 11 and PSA 8 last sold on Jul 31.
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.

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 11%. At 15%: +$24 versus selling the 9 for a net $64.66.
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
