10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Illustration Rare; PSA 10 population is climbing as collectors submit chase cards.

Centering and edge wear are common downgrade reasons; verified PSA 10s carry meaningful premiums.

Other graders: CGC submissions trend up for modern IRs; PSA remains the resale standard.
