Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 80.0% 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 $194.59£145.10€174.06 on average against $124.60£92.91€111.46 for the card plus $79.99£59.65€71.55 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $69.99£52.19€62.61, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.
1 of the 4 grades priced above had no sales at that grade, so the figure is modelled from the grades that did rather than observed.

Is Sandshrew+A78 from Japanese Split Earth worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $194.59 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $24.61 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $69.99.
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 $232.50£173.37€207.98. 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.
