PSA has graded 1,256 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 40.6% 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 $370.47£274.42€328.81 on average against $129.41£95.86€114.86 for the card plus $79.99£59.25€70.99 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $241.06£178.56€213.95, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

What is a PSA 10 Magikarp worth?
A PSA 10 Magikarp from Japanese Base Expansion Pack sells for $717.43. 46.4% 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 Magikarp from Japanese Base Expansion Pack worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $405.03 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $29.42 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $275.62.
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 $717.43£531.43€636.75. 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.
