Why the verdict weights the odds

Only 21.4% 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 $47.35£35.48€41.31 on average against $102£76.44€89.01 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $54.65£40.96€47.69, so a copy is worth more raw.

1 of the 5 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 Blaine's Gamble worth?

A PSA 10 Blaine's Gamble from Japanese Challenge from the Darkness sells for $162.75. 21.4% 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 Blaine's Gamble from Japanese Challenge from the Darkness worth grading?

On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $47.35 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $2.01 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $54.65.

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 $162.75£121.96€142.02. 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.
