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 28 Sept 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: no new PSA 10 slabs (24 Jul 2026 – 28 Sept 2026) against about 0.7 PSA 10 sales a month that we recorded over the last 90 days. 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.
