Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 13.9% 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 $837.58£630.40€737.63 on average against $432£325.14€380.45 for the card plus $349£262.67€307.35 at Super Express, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $405.58£305.25€357.18, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

The Pikachu on this page is the Reverse Holofoil printing from EX Sandstorm, and it trades at $181.66£136.73€159.98 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 $159.19£119.81€140.19, PSA 8 $175£131.71€154.12, PSA 9 $462.50£348.10€407.31, CGC/BGS 9.5 $509£383.10€448.26, PSA 10 $4,500£3,387€3,963. PSA has graded 915 copies of it. 818 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Pikachu worth?
A PSA 10 Pikachu from EX Sandstorm sells for $4,500. 3.2% 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 Pikachu from EX Sandstorm worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $354.34 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $63 for a raw copy plus $369 to send it through PSA Super Express, so it loses $77.66.
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 $4,500£3,387€3,963. 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.
