Why is PSA 10 so much more expensive than PSA 9?

PSA 10 is typically much rarer than PSA 9 for the same card, so collectors pay a higher premium for gem mint copies. The premium varies by card demand and population.

Should I grade my Pokémon cards?

Grading can increase liquidity and value for high-demand cards in strong condition. Consider grading fees, turnaround time, and whether the card is likely to receive a high grade.

Where can I compare graded and ungraded prices?

Use PokeCollectr price pages to compare ungraded values with PSA 9 and PSA 10 pricing, then browse sets and Pokémon hubs to find top graded cards.

FAQs

Do you show BGS/CGC graded prices?

Right now the focus is on ungraded, PSA 9, and PSA 10 pricing. If you need a baseline for other graders, compare relative premiums across sold listings.

Can I scan cards instead of searching?

Yes — use the iOS scanner app to identify cards faster: Pokemon card scanner.

Is PSA 10 always the best ROI?

Not always. PSA 10 carries the highest premium, but grading fees and the chance of receiving PSA 9 matter. Use price comparisons as a guide, not financial advice.
