Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 22.5% 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 $605.85£455.99€533.56 on average against $254£191.17€223.69 for the card plus $149£112.14€131.22 at Express, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $351.85£264.82€309.87, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

The Charmander (97) on this page is the Reverse Holofoil printing from Expedition, and it trades at $132.99£100.09€117.12 in near mint condition. The other 1 printing of the same card sits lower, which is normal: the scarcer print run always carries the premium.
Graded, it runs PSA 1 $84.99£63.97€74.85, PSA 7 $74.88£56.36€65.94, PSA 8 $252.35£189.93€222.24, PSA 9 $430£323.64€378.69, CGC/BGS 9.5 $473£356€416.56, PSA 10 $1,722£1,296€1,516. PSA has graded 1,150 copies of it. 1,039 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Charmander (97) worth?
A PSA 10 Charmander (97) from Expedition sells for $1,722. 10.8% 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 Charmander (97) from Expedition worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $408.88 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $85 for a raw copy plus $169 to send it through PSA Express, so it clears $154.88.
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 $1,722£1,296€1,516. 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.
