Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 54.2% 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 $68.80£51.56€60.03 on average against $113.47£85.03€99.01 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $44.67£33.48€38.98, so a copy is worth more raw.

The Salamence on this page is the 1st Edition Holofoil printing from Japanese Dragon Selection, and it trades at $13.48£10.10€11.76 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 9 $31.50£23.61€27.49, PSA 10 $104£77.94€90.75. PSA has graded 153 copies of it. 75 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Salamence worth?
A PSA 10 Salamence from Japanese Dragon Selection sells for $104. 54.2% 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.
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 $104£77.94€90.75. 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.
