Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 20.1% 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 $118.08£88.88€103.99 on average against $129.73£97.64€114.25 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $11.65£8.77€10.26, so a copy is worth more raw.

The Energy Retrieval on this page is the 1st Edition printing from Base Set (Shadowless), and it trades at $38.17£28.73€33.62 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 7 $33.50£25.21€29.50, PSA 8 $41.84£31.49€36.85, PSA 9 $90.50£68.11€79.70, CGC/BGS 9.5 $94£70.75€82.78, PSA 10 $322.50£242.73€284.02. PSA has graded 1,709 copies of it. 806 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Energy Retrieval worth?
A PSA 10 Energy Retrieval from Base Set (Shadowless) sells for $322.50. 15.9% 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 Energy Retrieval from Base Set (Shadowless) worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $108.19 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $29.74 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $21.54.
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 $322.50£242.73€284.02. 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.
