9Grading odds
PSA has graded 620 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 11.9% 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 $345.56£260.08€304.32 on average against $217.92£164.02€191.92 for the card plus $149£112.14€131.22 at Express, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $127.64£96.07€112.41, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

What is a PSA 10 Dark Octillery worth?
A PSA 10 Dark Octillery from EX Team Rocket Returns sells for $1,831. 7.9% 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 Octillery from EX Team Rocket Returns worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $281.85 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $48.92 for a raw copy plus $169 to send it through PSA Express, so it clears $63.93.
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 $1,831£1,378€1,613. 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.
