10Grading odds
CGC has graded 1,504 copies. Where they landed:
These are CGC grades. The prices above are for PSA slabs, and a CGC 10 is not the same grade as a PSA 10, so read the two as separate markets rather than one.
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 14.4% 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 $45.77£34.13€40.95 on average against $104.58£77.98€93.55 for the card plus $79.99£59.65€71.55 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $58.81£43.85€52.61, so a copy is worth more raw.
1 of the 4 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 Giovanni's Gyarados worth?
A PSA 10 Giovanni's Gyarados from Japanese Challenge from the Darkness sells for $186.50. 14.4% 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 Giovanni's Gyarados from Japanese Challenge from the Darkness worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $45.77 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $4.59 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $58.81.
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 $186.50£139.07€166.83. 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.
