PSA has graded 343 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 15.5% 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 $15.47£11.64€13.62 on average against $100.44£75.60€88.45 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $84.97£63.95€74.83, so a copy is worth more raw.

What is a PSA 10 Professor Oak's Hint worth?
A PSA 10 Professor Oak's Hint from XY - Evolutions sells for $36.49. 16.9% 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 XY - Evolutions worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $16.32 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $0.45 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $84.12.
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 $36.49£27.46€32.14. 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.
