PSA has graded 334 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 15.6% 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 $560.61£421.94€493.72 on average against $430.99£324.38€379.56 for the card plus $349£262.67€307.35 at Super Express, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $129.62£97.56€114.16, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

What is a PSA 10 Dark Muk worth?
A PSA 10 Dark Muk from EX Team Rocket Returns sells for $2,705. 9.0% 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 Dark Muk from EX Team Rocket Returns worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $393.30 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $61.99 for a raw copy plus $369 to send it through PSA Super Express, so it loses $37.69.
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 $2,705£2,036€2,382. 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.
