PSA has graded 618 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 13.6% 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 $71.52£54.07€64.71 on average against $108.75£82.22€98.40 for the card plus $79.99£60.48€72.38 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $37.23£28.15€33.69, so a copy is worth more raw.

What moves the price of this card
The Blastoise EX on this page is the Holofoil printing from Generations, and it trades at $15.64£11.82€14.15 in near mint condition. Only one printing of this card was produced, so there is no cheaper version to confuse it with.
Graded, it runs PSA 7 $22.88£17.30€20.70, PSA 8 $29.99£22.67€27.14, PSA 9 $42.49£32.12€38.45, CGC/BGS 9.5 $47£35.53€42.53, PSA 10 $321.82£243.31€291.19. PSA has graded 618 copies of it. 593 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Blastoise EX worth?
A PSA 10 Blastoise EX from Generations sells for $321.82. 13.8% 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 Blastoise EX from Generations worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $72.10 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $8.76 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $36.65.
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 $321.82£243.31€291.19. 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.
