CGC has graded 99 copies. Where they landed:
These are CGC grades. The prices above are for PSA slabs, and a CGC 10 is not the same grade as a PSA 10, so read the two as separate markets rather than one.
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 29.6% 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 $152.67£114.91€134.46 on average against $103.97£78.25€91.56 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $48.70£36.66€42.89, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

What moves the price of this card
The Skarmory on this page is the Reverse Holofoil printing from Great Encounters, and it trades at $3.75£2.82€3.30 in near mint condition. The other 1 printing of the same card sits lower, which is normal: the scarcer print run always carries the premium.
Graded, it runs PSA 8 $8.62£6.49€7.59, PSA 9 $29.70£22.35€26.16, CGC/BGS 9.5 $33£24.84€29.06, PSA 10 $464.84£349.86€409.37. PSA has graded 27 copies of it. 102 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Skarmory worth?
A PSA 10 Skarmory from Great Encounters sells for $464.84. 29.6% 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 Skarmory from Great Encounters worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $152.67 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $3.98 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $48.70.
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 $464.84£349.86€409.37. 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.
