PSA has graded 94 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 55.3% 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 $82.88£62.11€72.32 on average against $104.99£78.68€91.61 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $22.11£16.57€19.30, so a copy is worth more raw.
1 of the 3 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 Ariados worth?
A PSA 10 Ariados from Japanese Golden Sky, Silvery Ocean sells for $114.69. 55.3% 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 Ariados from Japanese Golden Sky, Silvery Ocean worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $74.27 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $3.06 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $28.78.
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 $114.69£85.95€100.08. 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.
