DittoGrading odds
CGC has graded 26 copies. Where they landed:
These are CGC grades. The prices above are for PSA slabs, and a CGC 10 is not the same grade as a PSA 10, so read the two as separate markets rather than one.
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 48.0% 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 $145.70£109.19€127.14 on average against $119.98£89.91€104.69 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $25.72£19.27€22.44, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.
2 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 Cubone worth?
A PSA 10 Cubone from Japanese Holon Research Tower sells for $186.85. 48.0% 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 Cubone from Japanese Holon Research Tower worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $145.70 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 $25.72.
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 $186.85£140.02€163.05. 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.
