Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 24.8% 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 $22.82£17.18€20.10 on average against $102.74£77.33€90.48 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $79.92£60.15€70.38, so a copy is worth more raw.

What moves the price of this card
The Larvesta on this page is the Holofoil printing from Surging Sparks, and it trades at $2.64£1.99€2.32 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 8 $13.04£9.81€11.48, PSA 9 $16£12.04€14.09, CGC/BGS 9.5 $18£13.55€15.85, PSA 10 $46.21£34.78€40.70. PSA has graded 1,325 copies of it. 940 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Larvesta worth?
A PSA 10 Larvesta from Surging Sparks sells for $46.21. 24.8% 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 Larvesta from Surging Sparks worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $22.82 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $2.75 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $79.92.
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 $46.21£34.78€40.70. 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.
