Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 11.4% 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 $492.99£371.04€434.16 on average against $273.87£206.13€241.19 for the card plus $149£112.14€131.22 at Express, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $219.12£164.92€192.97, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

What is a PSA 10 Salamence worth?
A PSA 10 Salamence from EX Dragon sells for $2,125. 14.5% 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 Salamence from EX Dragon worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $566.53 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $104.87 for a raw copy plus $169 to send it through PSA Express, so it clears $292.66.
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 $2,125£1,599€1,871. 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.
