VaporeonGrading odds
PSA has graded 54 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 57.4% 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 $172.51£129.27€150.53 on average against $106.91£80.12€93.29 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $65.60£49.16€57.24, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.
2 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 Sandslash worth?
A PSA 10 Sandslash from Japanese Split Earth sells for $287.11. 57.4% 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 Sandslash from Japanese Split Earth worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $87.36 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $7.08 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $19.71.
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 $287.11£215.16€250.53. 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.
