The rest of the product is excellent. And damn if it’s not a great value break even at current prices.

Recently sold a LeBron PSA 10 orange status for $187

Hello Holo fine 9.

armyml · 07-20-2020, 12:15 PM

Looks like there's another 2019-20 Optic Dragon up on Ebay(not my card). Curious to see what this goes for to see if I overpaid for mine or not!!!

PSA 9s are great buys for any of the Optic parallels. As are BGS 9.5s. Condition just sucks.

Agreed.

PSA 9's are not bad grades at all...it's just that sometimes people over value 10's and leave 9's hanging. 9's are MINT, mint is good!

9s are definitely making a move. Seeing them priced the same or slightly above raw is just silly.

Couldn’t agree more! There is great value in 9’s. One of my
Favorite. Buy the card not the grade.

If you snag a 9 for $100 and the 10 version sells for $1000 + you can’t see why it got a 9...... Run cause you got a steal. Nothing wrong with fine 9s!

I think its the peace of mind that buyers have knowing the card is "guaranteed" mint. No more examining the card for defects, no more guessing the grade from BGS/PSA. So, that is why they will pay a little bit more for the sense.

Raw cards (as we know), can be freshly mint, or horribly damaged. We have no idea until we receive them.

I disagree and feel that 9's should sell more than raw.

9s should sell for more than raw but not a huge gap though. Enough though.

Totally agree. My Luka 9’s will go up. But, for reasons we all know, gem 10 is where the big dollars are. Patience with 9’s will not go unrewarded. .

KhalDrogo · 07-20-2020, 12:48 PM

As PSA 10 prices continue to price many collectors out, and more people grade cards themselves, I think you will see an upward tick in PSA 9 pricing.

Honestly, it makes way more sense to buy a PSA 9 for cheaper than raw, crack, and resubmit if you're looking for a 10.

Yup, not double-raw, but still a nice premium for a 9 vs. raw.

Just look at PSA of high end players. I would sell my kids for a PSA 9 Jeter foil, Jordan 1986, LeBron RPA, Brady playoff RC auto, list goes on. Money to be made but longer time to see that. Which is perfect since, me personally, not in a rush.

Don't tell my wife about the kids comment. ...

dwtaylor1055 · 07-20-2020, 12:50 PM

I think 9s should sell for more than raw for sure. All a gamble.

I'm sitting on 3 PSA 10s Base Prizms(1 each) of Luka, Zion and JA. Plan to sell when I get the nervous to list em, pocketing most of the money and purchasing a few PSA 9s of say select or optic of the three guys mentioned and storing for the future.

This is probably the smart thing. I'm willing to bet I can find 10 PSA-9's that look awesome and I'd be surprised if I couldn't get 3 or more to regrade a Gem 10.

Still PSA and BGS 9s are the best value in this crazy market imo.

KB81 · 07-20-2020, 01:36 PM

Keep your eye on the hot players PSA 10 cards that seem to be going up week after week or fairly quickly. If you time it right you can score a bunch of cheap PSA 9s of the same card and just sit back and let the PSA 10s drag the 9s with it for the ride.You can have a better ROI when wheeling and dealing PSA 9s vs the 10s...... sometimes.

My post may have been read different than my intent. 9’s should absolutely be priced higher than raw. I think that gap continues to grow and can’t believe it hasn’t done so faster.

Then we agree!

TSonn · 07-20-2020, 02:39 PM

Raw Prizm Hyper and Fast Break are on the move. Could be had around $500 last week... now up to $800 and $750.

Akphillips86 · 07-20-2020, 02:40 PM

9’s will definitely start rising more in cards that are tough to gem over the years. A PSA 9 in Revolution, Velocity parallels, Optic Shock, or even Status should carry a higher premium than a PSA 9 in Prizm for example. There’s a lot of blanket pricing on 9’s without much thought for how difficult it is to get a 10 in a particular set. It is starting to change, but slowly.

I buy 9’s quite often with condition sensitive cards and have not been disappointed with the market appreciation.
