Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 5.5% 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 $31.40£23.63€27.65 on average against $112.47£84.65€99.05 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $81.07£61.02€71.40, so a copy is worth more raw.
1 of the 5 grades priced above had no sales at that grade, so the figure is modelled from the grades that did rather than observed.

A PSA 10 Professor Birch's Observations (159 Full Art) from XY - Primal Clash sells for $131.02. 5.7% 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 Professor Birch's Observations (159 Full Art) from XY - Primal Clash worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $32.02 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $12.48 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $80.45.
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 $131.02£98.61€115.39. 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.
