Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 67.5% 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 $48.33£36.22€42.17 on average against $111.24£83.36€97.07 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $62.91£47.14€54.89, so a copy is worth more raw.
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 Cynthia's Ambition worth?
A PSA 10 Cynthia's Ambition from Japanese Star Birth sells for $67. 68.0% 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 Cynthia's Ambition from Japanese Star Birth worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $48.61 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $11.25 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $62.63.
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 $67£50.21€58.46. 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.
