What is a PSA 10 Charizard worth?

Is Charizard from Legendary Collection worth grading?

On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $566.12 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $107.58 for a raw copy plus $619 to send it through PSA Walk-Through, so it loses $160.46.

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 $6,460£4,884€5,845. 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.
