9Grading odds
PSA has graded 105 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 11.4% 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 $5,508£4,164€4,983 on average against $3,253£2,459€2,943 for the card plus $1,999£1,511€1,809 at Premium 2, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $2,255£1,705€2,040, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

A PSA 10 Championship Arena (2005 World Championships) from Nintendo Promos sells for $33,000. 11.4% 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 Championship Arena (2005 World Championships) from Nintendo Promos worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $5,508 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $1,234 for a raw copy plus $2,019 to send it through PSA Premium 2, so it clears $2,255.
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 $33,000£24,950€29,859. 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.
