Cards That May Never Get a PSA 10

[BANKS]

What are some cards that have no PSA 10 and might never get a PSA 10?

[wisewailmer]

Prerelease clefable. And raichu I guess

[BANKS]

Here are two that readily come to mind

16 years with no PSA 10s??? The rarest and most difficult card to grade ever???

[rtas]

English BW & XY was rough

This is a really interesting topic. I don’t know enough to give any valuable input, but i’m looking forward to learning through the answers of those more knowledgeable!

Beat of the Frontier Relicanth in unlimited. The Yanma also didn’t have any PSA 10s for a while, but two randomly popped up within the last couple years. So maybe it will happen.

And probably other Champion cards

It’s been very difficult to stay optimistic about getting 10s of these holos. I’ve purchased a few Plasma Blast decks to get nonholo Snorunts but the corners are wrecked or they’re off center. If I’m struggling that much on a guaranteed nonholo, I’m worried about what a holo will be like.

I’ve bought a few Hidden Legends PSA 9s and they’re ALL off centered. With the new centering guidelines, I have very little faith.

I’ve slowly been coming to terms that I probably will settle with getting PSA 9s. The more I talk about it, the more likely people will know I need it however. My Mysterious Treasures rev holo PSA 9 was because a friend saw another friend pulled it. It probably wouldn’t have been graded if it wasn’t for me incessantly posting about them.

This is honestly a good answer.

These reverses are really hard to grade in the first place and the least popular cards from DP era sets (one of the least popular eras to collect) may not ever even get graded in the first place, let alone in a 10.

Armaldo ex holo from pop series 1, still at pop 0 with 175 graded. These are from tins and most have significant damage. Ho oh ex holo from pop series 3 is pop 1 in psa 10 with 486 graded

[goonhoon]

Time to re-submit all 175 of them!

[Chovi]

This is a pop 1, can’t see another one coming back a 10.

[Quuador]

Prerelease Clefable and Armaldo ex were indeed the first that came to mind as well:

Clefable has 0 out of 717:

Armaldo ex has 0 out of 175 (as already mentioned above)

HGSS20 Entei has 0 out of 510:

Pokémon League Energize Your Game Cycle has two still at pop-0:
Grass with 212 graded:

Psychic with 212 graded:

EDIT: Fixed amounts. TIL that the total pop are the Grade + + (half grade) combined, and the Qualifiers are included within either of those. Not exactly intuitive from PSA’s pop report..

Greetz,

I partially made that post in jest, but there is some truth in that many common, hard-to-grade cards of less popular Pokemon will never see a PSA 10 in their life.

[pfm]

I’d be ok with a 9

[smpratte]

Over a decade, still PSA 9 Pop 1.

Yes I remember you did and thanks again:) I graded both the Persians but sold them both too lol.

Thank you Gary!

[neverforget50in07]

Only one 10 since release. I bet there are some potential 10s out there but in order for them to be graded, employees must either sell the cards or know about PSA.

[Chovi]

I’m a bit confused is it pop 2? Looking at Psa pop it states pop one is the second one labelled having HP
