SwampertGrading odds
CGC has graded 99 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 43.5% 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 $158.07£118.97€139.20 on average against $102.49£77.14€90.26 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $55.58£41.83€48.94, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

What moves the price of this card
The Magcargo on this page is the Reverse Holofoil printing from Great Encounters, and it trades at $2.58£1.94€2.27 in near mint condition. The other 1 printing of the same card sits lower, which is normal: the scarcer print run always carries the premium.
Graded, it runs PSA 8 $8.50£6.40€7.49, PSA 9 $30.25£22.77€26.64, CGC/BGS 9.5 $33£24.84€29.06, PSA 10 $341.75£257.22€300.97. PSA has graded 23 copies of it. 96 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Magcargo worth?
A PSA 10 Magcargo from Great Encounters sells for $341.75. 45.5% 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 Magcargo from Great Encounters worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $164.86 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $2.50 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $62.37.
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 $341.75£257.22€300.97. 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.
