Is Dragonite from Legends Awakened worth grading?

On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $1,910 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $120 for a raw copy plus $5,019 to send it through PSA Premium 5, so it loses $3,229.

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 $114,706£86,724€103,787. 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.
