PSA has graded 2,939 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 7.8% 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 $711.53£535.53€626.62 on average against $496.50£373.69€437.25 for the card plus $349£262.67€307.35 at Super Express, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $215.03£161.84€189.37, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

The Dragonair on this page is the 1st Edition printing from Base Set (Shadowless), and it trades at $182.50£137.36€160.72 in near mint condition. The other 1 printing of the same card sits lower, which is normal: the scarcer print run always carries the premium.
Graded, it runs PSA 4 $55£41.40€48.44, PSA 5 $100£75.26€88.07, PSA 6 $179.99£135.47€158.51, PSA 7 $213.75£160.88€188.24, PSA 8 $321£241.60€282.69, PSA 9 $582.50£438.42€512.99, CGC/BGS 9.5 $641£482.45€564.51, PSA 10 $5,000£3,763€4,403. PSA has graded 2,939 copies of it. 1,345 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Dragonair worth?
A PSA 10 Dragonair from Base Set (Shadowless) sells for $5,000. 8.1% 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 Dragonair from Base Set (Shadowless) worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $742.68 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $127.50 for a raw copy plus $369 to send it through PSA Super Express, so it clears $246.18.
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 $5,000£3,763€4,403. 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.
