CGC has graded 247 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 14.0% 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 $55.80£42€49.14 on average against $112.24£84.48€98.85 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $56.44£42.48€49.70, so a copy is worth more raw.

What moves the price of this card
The Omanyte on this page is the Reverse Holofoil printing from EX Sandstorm, and it trades at $12.36£9.30€10.89 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 7 $13.80£10.39€12.15, PSA 8 $30.41£22.89€26.78, PSA 9 $59.97£45.14€52.81, CGC/BGS 9.5 $66£49.67€58.12, PSA 10 $168.15£126.56€148.08. PSA has graded 129 copies of it. 219 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Omanyte worth?
A PSA 10 Omanyte from EX Sandstorm sells for $168.15. 4.9% 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 Omanyte from EX Sandstorm worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $41.48 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $12.25 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $70.76.
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 $168.15£126.56€148.08. 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.
