Why the verdict weights the odds

Only 13.5% 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 $51.71£38.75€45.12 on average against $103.78£77.77€90.56 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $52.07£39.02€45.44, 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 Nidoqueen worth?

A PSA 10 Giovanni's Nidoqueen from Japanese Challenge from the Darkness sells for $186.50. 13.5% 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 Giovanni's Nidoqueen from Japanese Challenge from the Darkness worth grading?

On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $51.71 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $3.79 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $52.07.

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£139.76€162.74. 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.
