Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 84.8% 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 $85.29£63.18€75.70 on average against $103.18£76.43€91.58 for the card plus $79.99£59.25€70.99 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $17.89£13.25€15.88, 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 $3.19 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $21.15.
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£74.07€88.75. 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.
