PSA has graded 570 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 19.3% 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 $25.66£19.32€22.60 on average against $100.98£76€88.93 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $75.32£56.69€66.33, so a copy is worth more raw.

What is a PSA 10 Electrode worth?
A PSA 10 Electrode from XY - Evolutions sells for $70. 15.5% 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 Electrode from XY - Evolutions worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $23.75 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $0.99 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $77.23.
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 $70£52.69€61.65. 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.
