UmbreonGrading odds
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 14.8% 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 $118.45£89.15€104.32 on average against $113.02£85.06€99.53 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $5.43£4.09€4.78, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

The Onix on this page is the Reverse Holofoil printing from EX Sandstorm, and it trades at $22.53£16.96€19.84 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 $22.28£16.77€19.62, PSA 8 $24.99£18.81€22.01, PSA 9 $39.95£30.07€35.18, CGC/BGS 9.5 $59.02£44.42€51.98, PSA 10 $634.48£477.54€558.77. PSA has graded 142 copies of it. 250 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Onix worth?
A PSA 10 Onix from EX Sandstorm sells for $634.48. 4.5% 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 Onix from EX Sandstorm worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $55.74 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $13.03 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $57.28.
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 $634.48£477.54€558.77. 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.
