|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Expected +$2,808 per submission: 5.4% of 280 graded copies came back PSA 10 ($25,100), and a PSA 9 ($3,650) still clears the $2,784 you have in it. Confidence high on that sample. | $514 | $3,650 | $25,100 | $2,270 | +$22,316 | 5.4% | +$2,808 | 280 high |

Best case only — no gem-rate evidence 2
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.
| # | Card | Raw | PSA 9 | PSA 10 | Cost | Best case | Gem rate | Expected | Sample |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | $42 | — | $1,678 | $186 | +$1,451 | — | — | none <10 | |
| 8 | $7 | — | $900 | $109 | +$784 | — | — | 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.
