Alakazam (No Rarity Symbol)Grading odds
PSA has graded 90 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 51.1% 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 $123.48£91.47€109.60 on average against $119.98£88.87€106.49 for the card plus $79.99£59.25€70.99 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $3.50£2.60€3.11, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.
1 of the 4 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 Cloyster worth?
A PSA 10 Cloyster from Japanese Base Expansion Pack sells for $200. 54.5% 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 Cloyster from Japanese Base Expansion Pack worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $127.55 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $19.99 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $7.57.
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 $200£148.15€177.51. 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.
