How many PSA 10 copies exist
PSA’s cumulative census for this card. It counts resubmissions, so it skews toward nicer copies and overstates the rate a fresh submission should expect.

Gem mint is each grader’s top grade as the market reads it beside a PSA 10: CGC and SGC 10s with their Pristine and Perfect 10s, and Beckett 9.5s (Gem Mint) with its 10s and Black Labels. Share is that count out of everything the grader has graded. Another grader’s slab is its own market and is not in the price above. Totals include slabs graded authentic only.
Is the PSA 10 supply growing?
New PSA 10 slabs from PSA’s weekly counts, each change measured between the two report days shown; the weekly counts end on 19 Oct 2026, so the population above, PSA’s newest reading, can run ahead of them. Resubmissions count as new slabs, so this is the supply that reaches the market, not new copies of the card.

New slabs against sales: about 2.9 new PSA 10 slabs a month (27 Jul 2026 – 19 Oct 2026) against about 2 PSA 10 sales a month that we recorded over the last 90 days: 1.4 new slabs for every recorded sale. Our record holds the sales we can see (eBay, PSA’s cert-verified sales and the auction houses we read), not every sale, and most slabs graded are never sold.
PSA 10 price against PSA’s PSA 10 count
Both lines on PSA’s weekly report days for Air Balloon. Side by side, not cause and effect.
PSA 10 against PSA 9
One grade apart, one Air Balloon. Today’s prices are each page’s headline; the line over time is our recorded price index for both grades.
A PSA 9 sells for $13 against $38 for a PSA 10: 34% of the price, or a PSA 10 at 2.9× a 9.
On the index a PSA 10 was 2.9× a 9 on 23 Oct 2026, 2.7× on 20 Jul 2026, and 2.7× on 20 Oct 2025. A wider gap means the 10 has pulled further ahead of the 9.

The verdict above is PSA's — the grader the population, the ROI table and the ladder on this page all use. Trader prices all three graders against each other and adds what the asking market is doing right now.
- PSA, CGC and Beckett side by side — each on its own population and fees, Beckett scored on the 9.5 its market pays for.
- Lightly and moderately played — the same expected return for a copy that cannot gem.
- Ask vs sold — what the live listings want, against what copies have really closed at.
- Momentum — the 30-day median against the 90-day, per grade.
- Where it sells higher — the Fanatics-versus-eBay premium, with the sale counts behind it.
- Population history — the weekly PSA census, so you can see how fast 10s are arriving before you post the card.
