GloomGrading odds
CGC has graded 145 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 26.0% 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 $18.25£13.74€16.08 on average against $100.94£75.97€88.89 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $82.69£62.23€72.82, so a copy is worth more raw.

What moves the price of this card
The Melmetal ex on this page is the Holofoil printing from Obsidian Flames, and it trades at $1.04£0.78€0.92 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 $6£4.52€5.28, PSA 8 $7.19£5.41€6.33, PSA 9 $15£11.29€13.21, CGC/BGS 9.5 $17£12.79€14.97, PSA 10 $35.07£26.40€30.89. PSA has graded 104 copies of it. 289 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Melmetal ex worth?
A PSA 10 Melmetal ex from Obsidian Flames sells for $35.07. 26.7% 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 Melmetal ex from Obsidian Flames worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $18.52 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $0.95 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $82.42.
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 $35.07£26.40€30.89. 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.
