SwampertGrading odds
CGC has graded 58 copies. Where they landed:
These are CGC grades. The prices above are for PSA slabs, and a CGC 10 is not the same grade as a PSA 10, so read the two as separate markets rather than one.
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 7.1% of copies reach a 10, which is why the top price is the wrong number to plan around. Weighting each grade’s PSA price by these odds, a submission is worth $51.60£38.84€45.44 on average against $107.09£80.60€94.31 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $55.49£41.76€48.87, so a copy is worth more raw.

What moves the price of this card
The Altaria on this page is the Reverse Holofoil printing from Great Encounters, and it trades at $18.66£14.04€16.43 in near mint condition. The other 1 printing of the same card sits lower, which is normal: the scarcer print run always carries the premium.
Graded, it runs PSA 7 $13.50£10.16€11.89, PSA 8 $14£10.54€12.33, PSA 9 $38.76£29.17€34.13, CGC/BGS 9.5 $43£32.36€37.87, PSA 10 $349.99£263.42€308.23. PSA has graded 28 copies of it. 100 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Altaria worth?
A PSA 10 Altaria from Great Encounters sells for $349.99. 8.0% of the copies PSA has graded came back a 10, so that price is the best case rather than the one a submission should expect.
Is Altaria from Great Encounters worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $54.41 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $7.10 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $52.68.
Condition does most of the work below the surface. A copy with soft corners or a print line off centre trades well under the market price shown here, and a copy clean enough to grade trades well above it, which is why the PSA 10 sits at $349.99£263.42€308.23. Before you value your own copy, look at the corners under a light and check the centring on the back, where most cards give themselves away.
