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

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 Charizard-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 $11,200 against $985 for a PSA 9: $10,215 more, or 11.4× the price of a 9.

PSA 10 price ÷ PSA 9 price
14.0×2.3×
1 Mar 202123 Oct 2026

On the index a PSA 10 was 11.4× a 9 on 23 Oct 2026, 9.1× on 20 Jul 2026, and 7.1× on 20 Oct 2025. A wider gap means the 10 has pulled further ahead of the 9.

  • 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.
