Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 26.5% 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 $46.90£35.30€41.30 on average against $109.36£82.31€96.31 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $62.46£47.01€55.01, 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 XY Base Set, and it trades at $11.33£8.53€9.98 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 $17£12.79€14.97, PSA 8 $21.30£16.03€18.76, PSA 9 $37£27.85€32.58, CGC/BGS 9.5 $41£30.86€36.11, PSA 10 $98.66£74.26€86.89. PSA has graded 392 copies of it. 422 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Blastoise EX worth?
A PSA 10 Blastoise EX from XY Base Set sells for $98.66. 26.8% 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 XY Base Set worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $47.14 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $9.37 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $62.22.
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 $98.66£74.26€86.89. 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.
