About these prices

Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 5.7% 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 $235.29£177.89€212.89 on average against $154.99£117.18€140.24 for the card plus $79.99£60.48€72.38 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $80.30£60.71€72.65, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.
1 of the 6 grades priced above had no sales at that grade, so the figure is modelled from the grades that did rather than observed.

What is a PSA 10 Ampharos worth?
A PSA 10 Ampharos from EX Unseen Forces sells for $450. 5.1% 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 Ampharos from EX Unseen Forces worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $201.18 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $55 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $46.19.
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 $450£340.22€407.17. 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.

As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may move a basic Energy card attached to 1 of your Benched Pokémon to your Active Pokémon. This power can't be used if Ampharos is affected by a Special Condition.
You may discard all Lightning Energy attached to Ampharos. If you do, the Defending Pokémon is now Burned and Confused.
