Grading odds

PSA has graded 294 copies. Where they landed:

PSA 1022676.9%
PSA 96522.1%
PSA 820.7%
PSA 610.3%

Why the verdict weights the odds

Only 76.9% 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 $23.84£17.87€20.80 on average against $103.52£77.58€90.33 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $79.68£59.71€69.53, so a copy is worth more raw.

What moves the price of this card

The Professor's Research on this page is the Holofoil printing from Japanese VSTAR Universe, and it trades at $1.06£0.79€0.92 in near mint condition. Only one printing of this card was produced, so there is no cheaper version to confuse it with.

Graded, it runs PSA 10 $31£23.23€27.05. PSA has graded 294 copies of it. 79 completed sales are on file.

What is a PSA 10 Professor's Research worth?

A PSA 10 Professor's Research from Japanese VSTAR Universe sells for $31. 76.9% 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's Research from Japanese VSTAR Universe worth grading?

On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $23.84 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $3.53 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $79.68.

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 $31£23.23€27.05. 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.
