Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 18.6% 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 $71.19£53.58€62.69 on average against $108.77£81.87€95.79 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $37.58£28.29€33.10, 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 Promos, and it trades at $10.17£7.65€8.96 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 $22.43£16.88€19.75, PSA 8 $37£27.85€32.58, PSA 9 $41£30.86€36.11, CGC/BGS 9.5 $45£33.87€39.63, PSA 10 $250£188.16€220.17. PSA has graded 663 copies of it. 658 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Blastoise EX worth?
A PSA 10 Blastoise EX from XY Promos sells for $250. 18.6% 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 Promos worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $71.19 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $8.78 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $37.58.
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 $250£188.16€220.17. 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.
