9Grading odds
PSA has graded 650 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 11.1% 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 $163.07£122.73€143.61 on average against $134.99£101.60€118.88 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $28.08£21.13€24.73, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

What is a PSA 10 Dark Electrode worth?
A PSA 10 Dark Electrode from EX Team Rocket Returns sells for $498.15. 9.1% 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 Dark Electrode from EX Team Rocket Returns worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $159.52 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $35 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $24.53.
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 $498.15£374.93€438.71. 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.
