Toughest Gems

Of everything PSA has ever graded for each card, what share came back a PSA 10? Computed from the live population census — 416 cards with 100+ graded copies. A low gem rate means the card fights back: centering, chipping, print snow. That's condition rarity — and it's why two cards with the same pop can deserve very different prices.

Hardest to Gem 💀

The condition killers — thousands graded, almost no 10s.

Gem rate = PSA 10s ÷ all copies PSA has ever graded for that card (population census, updated continuously). Minimum 100 graded copies to qualify. Vintage cards with sub-1% gem rates are among the hardest condition challenges in the hobby. Population history tracked daily since July 2026.
