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.

Grader	9s	Graded	Share
PSA	7,859	15,705	50.0%
TAG	124	271	45.8%

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.

CGC has graded 1,868 copies of this card. Its count by grade is not published, so none of them is in the rates above.

Stepping up to a PSA 10

One grade apart, one Vaporeon VMAX. 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 $781 against $90 for a PSA 9: $691 more, or 8.7× the price of a 9.

On the index a PSA 10 was 8.7× a 9 on 23 Oct 2026, 9.8× on 21 Jul 2026, and 9.4× on 21 Oct 2025. A wider gap means the 10 has pulled further ahead of the 9.
