Ranked by expected profit 2
| # | Card | Raw | PSA 9 | PSA 10 | Cost | Best case | Gem rate | Expected | Sample |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Expected loss −$26 per submission: 33.5% of 3,812 graded copies came back PSA 10 ($176), and only a PSA 10 covers the $108 you have in it — a 9 loses money. Confidence high on that sample. | $36 | $36 | $176 | $72 | +$68 | 33.5% | −$26 | 3,812 high |
| 2 | Expected loss −$28 per submission: 32.8% of 3,189 graded copies came back PSA 10 ($190), and only a PSA 10 covers the $120 you have in it — a 9 loses money. Confidence high on that sample. | $48 | $47 | $190 | $72 | +$70 | 32.8% | −$28 | 3,189 high |
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 2026-06-28). 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.
