Slab history — PSA 9 copies that have sold more than once

2 slabs have sold more than once, across 2 resales. That is 2 of the 33 distinct slabs behind 37 cert-linked sales at this grade — 6.1%. The rest we have seen sell once, which is not evidence they have not sold before.

Cert	Sales of this slab	Between	Gross change
#43685503	Sept 2023 $92→May 2025 $225	Over a year	+144.6%
#42124189	Mar 2019 $15→Sept 2024 $160	Over a year	+966.7%

A cert reappearing shows the same physical slab sold again — it identifies no buyer or seller. Gross change is price to price; fees, shipping and the grading cost are not in it.

How many PSA 9 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.

Share is each grader’s 9s out of everything it has graded. A 9.5 sits between a 9 and a 10; PSA does not give one. Another grader’s slab is its own market and is not in the price above. Totals include slabs graded authentic only.

Is the PSA 9 supply growing?

New PSA 9 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.

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.

Stepping up to a PSA 10

One grade apart, one Articuno ex. Today’s prices are each page’s headline; the line over time is our recorded price index for both grades.

A PSA 10 sells for $48,000 against $5,000 for a PSA 9: $43,000 more, or 9.6× the price of a 9.

On the index a PSA 10 was 9.6× a 9 on 25 Oct 2026, 5.8× on 25 Jul 2026, and 8.9× on 25 Oct 2025. A wider gap means the 10 has pulled further ahead of the 9.
