9Grading odds
PSA has graded 449 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 58.8% 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 $183.57£137.57€160.18 on average against $143.39£107.45€125.12 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $40.18£30.11€35.06, 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.

What is a PSA 10 Sandshrew worth?
A PSA 10 Sandshrew from Japanese McDonald's Pokémon-e Minimum Pack sells for $254.31. 65.0% 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 Sandshrew from Japanese McDonald's Pokémon-e Minimum Pack worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $193.35 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $43.40 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $49.96.
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 $254.31£190.58€221.91. 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.
