10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern ultra/secret rare; PSA 10 populations are moderate and grading is common for higher-value pulls.

Holo scratching and centering are the usual downgrade culprits; graded gem-mint copies trade above raw.

Other graders: CGC and BGS both grade modern ultra-rares; PSA leads on resale liquidity.
