Why the verdict weights the odds

Only 90.2% 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 $56.93£42.66€49.68 on average against $115.53£86.58€100.81 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $58.60£43.92€51.14, so a copy is worth more raw.

What is a PSA 10 Sandslash (Poke Ball Pattern) worth?

A PSA 10 Sandslash (Poke Ball Pattern) from Japanese Pokemon Card 151 sells for $60.78. 90.2% 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.

Is Sandslash (Poke Ball Pattern) from Japanese Pokemon Card 151 worth grading?

On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $56.93 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $15.54 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $58.60.

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 $60.78£45.55€53.04. 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.
