PSA has graded 32 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 84.4% 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 $84.83£63.57€74.03 on average against $103.74£77.74€90.52 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $18.91£14.17€16.50, 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.

What is a PSA 10 Professor Oak's Hint worth?
A PSA 10 Professor Oak's Hint from Japanese Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary sells for $99.99. 81.5% 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 Oak's Hint from Japanese Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $82.03 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $3.75 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $21.71.
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 $99.99£74.93€87.25. 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.
