A PSA 9 doesn't clear cost on this card — only a PSA 10 pays off. How we compute this → methodology

Premium stability

1.3× means a PSA 10 sells for 1.3 times the raw price — a verdict is a bet on that gap holding
PSA 10 ÷ raw PSA 9 ÷ raw break-even

7-day moving average — daily sale-to-sale noise is smoothed out so the underlying trend reads clean; hover to see that average at any real sale date. Dots after Jul 5, 2026 are that day's grade market average divided by the most recently known raw price — a market signal, not an individual confirmed transaction.

The reasoning

The downside: a PSA 9 sells a touch below raw — a small loss. So this is a "worth grading" call, not a free roll; the profit lives in the 10. On a card this valuable the absolute dollars justify the send if the copy is clean, but a soft grade erases the edge. Source carefully — raw copies are scarce.
