AlakazamGrading odds
CGC has graded 374 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 22.5% 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 $21.40£16.10€18.84 on average against $100.69£75.78€88.67 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $79.29£59.68€69.83, so a copy is worth more raw.

What moves the price of this card
The Magnemite on this page is the Normal printing from Base Set 2, and it trades at $0.54£0.41€0.48 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 7 $3.25£2.45€2.86, PSA 8 $18.47£13.90€16.27, PSA 9 $20£15.05€17.61, CGC/BGS 9.5 $22£16.56€19.37, PSA 10 $35.50£26.72€31.26. PSA has graded 209 copies of it. 201 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Magnemite worth?
A PSA 10 Magnemite from Base Set 2 sells for $35.50. 24.0% 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.
Is Magnemite from Base Set 2 worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $22.02 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $0.70 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $78.67.
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 $35.50£26.72€31.26. 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.
