Mewtwo & Mew GXGrading odds
PSA has graded 1,261 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 3.1% 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 $260.44£196.02€229.36 on average against $395.88£297.96€348.64 for the card plus $349£262.67€307.35 at Super Express, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $135.44£101.94€119.28, so a copy is worth more raw.

The Pikachu on this page is the Holofoil printing from SM Promos, and it trades at $33.76£25.41€29.73 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 $28£21.07€24.66, PSA 8 $66.78£50.26€58.81, PSA 9 $290.75£218.83€256.05, CGC/BGS 9.5 $320£240.85€281.81, PSA 10 $4,494£3,383€3,958. PSA has graded 1,261 copies of it. 551 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Pikachu worth?
A PSA 10 Pikachu from SM Promos sells for $4,494. 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 SM Promos worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $269.11 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $26.88 for a raw copy plus $369 to send it through PSA Super Express, so it loses $126.77.
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 $4,494£3,383€3,958. 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.
