ScizorGrading odds
CGC has graded 88 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 49.2% 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 $60.32£44.68€53.54 on average against $105.72£78.31€93.83 for the card plus $79.99£59.25€70.99 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $45.40£33.63€40.30, so a copy is worth more raw.
1 of the 4 grades priced above had no sales at that grade, so the figure is modelled from the grades that did rather than observed.

What is a PSA 10 Paras worth?
A PSA 10 Paras from Japanese Wind from the Sea sells for $92.50. 52.0% 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 Paras from Japanese Wind from the Sea worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $61.94 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $5.73 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $43.78.
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 $92.50£68.52€82.10. 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.
