Slab history — PSA 10 copies that have sold more than once

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.

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 against PSA 9

One grade apart, one Volcanion. 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 $53 against $600 for a PSA 10: 9% of the price, or a PSA 10 at 11.3× a 9.

On the index a PSA 10 was 11.3× a 9 on 24 Oct 2026, 10.2× on 26 Jul 2026, and 7.6× on 19 Oct 2025. A wider gap means the 10 has pulled further ahead of the 9.

Trader plan and above →
  • 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.
