Ranked by expected profit 2
| # | Card | Raw | PSA 9 | PSA 10 | Cost | Best case | Gem rate | Expected | Sample |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Expected +$4 per submission: 42.1% of 9,120 graded copies came back PSA 10 ($260), and only a PSA 10 covers the $144 you have in it — a 9 loses money. Confidence high on that sample. | $71 | $65 | $260 | $73 | +$116 | 42.1% | +$4 | 9,120 high |
| 2 | Expected loss −$22 per submission: 32.8% of 4,506 graded copies came back PSA 10 ($230), and only a PSA 10 covers the $137 you have in it — a 9 loses money. Confidence high on that sample. | $65 | $60 | $230 | $72 | +$93 | 32.8% | −$22 | 4,506 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 2026-08-26). 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.
