Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 63.6% 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 $138.06£102.94€123.50 on average against $108.48£80.89€97.04 for the card plus $79.99£59.65€71.55 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $29.58£22.06€26.46, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.
1 of the 3 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 Buried Fossil worth?
A PSA 10 Buried Fossil from Japanese Split Earth sells for $195.32. 72.7% 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 Buried Fossil from Japanese Split Earth worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $154.40 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $8.49 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $45.92.
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 $195.32£145.64€174.72. 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.
