Frequently asked questions
Is it worth grading Cynthia's Ambition Brilliant Stars 169/172?
A PSA 10 currently sells for about £51.01, raw the card sits at £7.10 — 7.2× as much. Of 2.692 copies already graded, 48 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £31.23 on average, before fees and shipping. Rule of thumb: submit when the value at a realistic grade is at least double the raw value — which is the case here. Centering decides it: an off-centre card will not get a 10. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.
