Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 36.3% 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 $22.63£17.03€19.93 on average against $103.13£77.62€90.82 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $80.50£60.59€70.89, so a copy is worth more raw.

What is a PSA 10 Basic Lightning Energy worth?
A PSA 10 Basic Lightning Energy from Scarlet & Violet Base Set sells for $40. 36.3% 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.
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 $40£30.11€35.23. 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.
