Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 59.1% 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 $116.94£87.64€102.05 on average against $106.65£79.92€93.06 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $10.29£7.71€8.98, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

The Empoleon on this page is the 1st Edition Holofoil printing from Japanese Dark Rush, and it trades at $6.66£4.99€5.81 in near mint condition. Only one printing of this card was produced, so there is no cheaper version to confuse it with.

What is a PSA 10 Empoleon worth?
A PSA 10 Empoleon from Japanese Dark Rush sells for $197.50. 59.1% 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.
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 $197.50£148€172.34. 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.
