PSA Grading Guide 2026

Everything serious collectors need to know about PSA grading — costs, turnaround times, population reports, and how PSA grades affect serial numbered card values.

What is PSA Grading?

Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) is the world’s largest and most trusted sports card grading company. A PSA grade certifies the authenticity and condition of a card on a scale of 1–10, encapsulating it in a tamper-evident case (slab). For serial numbered baseball cards, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) grade can multiply a card’s value by 5–15x versus a raw (ungraded) copy.

PSA Grading Scale

Grade	Name	Description	Serial Numbered Impact
PSA 10	Gem Mint	Four sharp corners, no print defects, perfect centering	Maximum value — typically 5–15x raw
PSA 9	Mint	Minor imperfections allowable, one slight corner touch	Strong value — 2–4x raw
PSA 8	Near Mint-Mint	Light wear on 1–2 corners, slight surface marks	Modest premium over raw
PSA 7	Near Mint	Light wear, slight notch on corners	Near raw value
