Today's read
- ◆PSA has graded 2,233 copies; 31% came back gems. The 10 is a genuine filter here, which is what sustains a fat premium.
- ◆A PSA 10 trades at $131.5 against $31.02 raw, a 4.2x premium on 74 verified sold comps.
- ◆The verified PSA 10 median moved +20% over the last 75 days versus the prior six months ($120 to $144.48).
- ◆Grading math at today's prices: expected value +$15.64 per submission after the $19.99 fee, using the registry gem rate. Positive EV, before condition selection.
- ◆Raw sits -31% versus its all-time TCGplayer high of $45.09 (2025-09-22).
- ◆The registry is still minting: roughly 16 new PSA 10s per week over our snapshot window.
This is a mechanical momentum extrapolation, not advice: raw market times one plus clamp(0.6 x 90d trend + 0.4 x 30d trend, -25%, +35%); band is the 30d/90d trend disagreement (min 6%). When the market turns, this number turns with it, and we keep every past edition on record.
Selection rotates daily through the registry-tracked universe (largest PSA 10 populations first), skips anything featured in the last 90 days, and refuses cards with fewer than 20 verified PSA 10 comps. Prices are medians of individual eBay sold listings passed through Moonstone's verified comp filter. Population figures are PSA registry snapshots. Grading EV uses the registry gem rate and a $19.99 fee. Also see Registry Watch and the Population Giants study.
