PSA graded: 15,934,591; 19,753 cards
PSA 10s: 5,761,990; every PSA 10 on record
Historical PSA 10 rate: 36%; PSA 10s of all PSA graded
Cards with CGC, BGS or SGC: 0; matched to the same printing

PSA graded copies, in millions, of the 19,219 cards PSA’s weekly report covers at every week from Jul 24, 2026 to Sep 28, 2026 (+7.1% over the period). The same cards at every point, so a card joining the report never reads as growth; a card missing a week is left out of the line.

By grader

The 10s share counts every grade-10 label, so it compares across graders; each grader’s own gem differs (Beckett’s takes in 9.5s).

Graded copies by grading company
Grader	Cards	Graded	10s	10s share
PSA	19,753	15,934,591	5,761,990	36%

CGC, Beckett and SGC cover only the cards matched to the same printing, so their totals are not the whole of what they have graded.

By era

PSA graded copies and the historical PSA 10 rate of each era’s cards.

Population

Most graded

The cards PSA has graded most often.

Fewest PSA 10s

The lowest PSA 10 populations among cards PSA has graded 100 times or more.

Most PSA 10s

The highest PSA 10 populations.

Hardest to gem

The lowest share of PSA-graded copies that came back a 10, among cards graded 100 times or more. A history of what was submitted, not the odds for a copy.

Fastest growing

The biggest rise in PSA graded copies, from PSA’s weekly report.

Growth needs PSA’s weekly report to cover a whole window. It shows here once it does.

From PSA’s population report, as on each card page; growth from PSA’s weekly report through CardTrack. PSA counts the cards it has graded, not every copy that exists. More on graded supply.

How this is worked out

PSA’s counts are the ones every card page shows: PSA’s weekly population report where CardTrack collects it for the card, otherwise the latest single reading. CGC, Beckett and SGC are each grader’s counts for the same printing, kept only where they agree with PSA’s spec. Every 10 label (Pristine, Perfect, Black Label) counts as a 10.

The historical PSA 10 rate is PSA 10s over every copy PSA has graded, shown from 20 graded copies. It describes the copies people chose to submit, which lean towards the best-looking ones, so it is not the odds that any copy grades 10. Growth compares two weekly PSA reports and is never interpolated; the weekly line sums one fixed set of cards, those with a reading in every week it shows. None of these figures says why a price moved. Full method on the methodology page.
