Sales / Yr

Negative expected value ($-32.26) — while a PSA 10 would be profitable, the probability-weighted outcome across all grades means you lose money on average at this grading tier. The gem rate is only 2% — you'll need a very clean copy to hit PSA 10. Only 14 sales per year — it may take time to find a buyer at full price.
