- PSA 10: the last 7 days sold at $607, more than double the median of all 205 sales on record ($234). The verdict uses the recent price, which may not hold.
In the last 7 days, 4 PSA 10s, 9 PSA 9s and 4 PSA 8s sold.
PSA 10s are 50% 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 16%. At 15%: −$2.47 versus selling the 9 for a net $51.65.
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.
