PSA has graded 78 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 25.6% 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 $54.14£40.11€48.05 on average against $103.87£76.94€92.19 for the card plus $79.99£59.25€70.99 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $49.73£36.83€44.13, so a copy is worth more raw.
1 of the 3 grades priced above had no sales at that grade, so the figure is modelled from the grades that did rather than observed.

Is Professor Elm from Japanese Gold, Silver, to a New World... worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $54.14 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $3.88 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $49.73.
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 $156£115.56€138.46. 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.
