Grading odds

Why the verdict weights the odds

Only 12.0% 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 $129.74£97.22€113.21 on average against $111.97£83.91€97.71 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $17.77£13.31€15.50, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

2 of the 5 grades priced above had no sales at that grade, so the figure is modelled from the grades that did rather than observed.

What is a PSA 10 Energy Retrieval worth?

A PSA 10 Energy Retrieval from Japanese Expansion Pack (No Rarity) sells for $677.01. 12.0% 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 Japanese Expansion Pack (No Rarity) worth grading?

On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $129.74 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $11.98 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $17.77.

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 $677.01£507.34€590.76. 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.
