Ranked by expected profit 4
| # | Card | Raw | PSA 9 | PSA 10 | Cost | Best case | Gem rate | Expected | Sample |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Expected +$533 per submission: 14.4% of 603 graded copies came back PSA 10 ($4,320), and a PSA 9 ($420) still clears the $615 you have in it. Confidence high on that sample. | $203 | $420 | $4,320 | $412 | +$3,705 | 14.4% | +$533 | 603 high |
| 2 | Expected +$129 per submission: 4.1% of 512 graded copies came back PSA 10 ($2,325), and a PSA 9 ($500) still clears the $339 you have in it. Confidence high on that sample. | $147 | $500 | $2,325 | $192 | +$1,986 | 4.1% | +$129 | 512 high |
| 3 | Expected +$104 per submission: 2.2% of 819 graded copies came back PSA 10 ($800), and a PSA 9 ($500) still clears the $148 you have in it. Confidence high on that sample. | $40 | $500 | $800 | $108 | +$652 | 2.2% | +$104 | 819 high |
| 4 | Expected loss −$70 per submission: 0.1% of 1,002 graded copies came back PSA 10 ($1,891), and only a PSA 10 covers the $279 you have in it — a 9 loses money. Confidence high on that sample. | $91 | $150 | $1,891 | $188 | +$1,612 | 0.1% | −$70 | 1,002 high |
Best case only — no gem-rate evidence 1
Fewer than 10 graded copies in the PSA and CGC population reports. They clear the grading cost if they gem — that is all the numbers support.

| 5 | $5 | — | $78 | $71 | +$1 | — | — | none <10 |
Expected = every grade outcome weighted by its share of the card's graded population, minus the raw price and the grading cost (PSA tier fee for the graded value plus ~$20 round-trip shipping, fees as of 2026-08-26). Best case is the PSA 10 leg alone. Gem rates come from a self-selected population — collectors grade their cleanest copies — so read them as an upper bound. Raw is a blended market price, not a sale of your copy. Full method and filters on the grading index.
