Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 34.8% 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 $25.71£19.35€22.64 on average against $103.03£77.55€90.74 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $77.32£58.19€68.09, so a copy is worth more raw.

What is a PSA 10 Professor's Research [Professor Sada] worth?
A PSA 10 Professor's Research [Professor Sada] from Scarlet & Violet Base Set sells for $48.85. 34.8% 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 [Professor Sada] from Scarlet & Violet Base Set worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $25.71 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $3.04 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $77.32.
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 $48.85£36.77€43.02. 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.
