Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 27.0% 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 $144.19£108.06€125.82 on average against $118.16£88.55€103.11 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $26.03£19.51€22.72, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

What moves the price of this card
The Guard Spec. on this page is the Normal printing from Japanese Vending Machine cards Series 2 (Red), and it trades at $18.17£13.62€15.86 in near mint condition. Only one printing of this card was produced, so there is no cheaper version to confuse it with.
Graded, it runs PSA 9 $52.61£39.43€45.91, PSA 10 $435£325.98€379.58. PSA has graded 259 copies of it. 160 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Guard Spec. worth?
A PSA 10 Guard Spec. from Japanese Vending Machine cards Series 2 (Red) sells for $435. 27.0% 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.
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 $435£325.98€379.58. 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.
