Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 11.7% 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 $232.75£175.18€204.98 on average against $137.99£103.86€121.52 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $94.76£71.32€83.45, 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 $1,410. 3.4% 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, no. The average submission is worth $119.59 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $38 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $18.40.
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 $1,410£1,061€1,242. 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.
