9Grading odds
PSA has graded 140 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 2.9% 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 $60.40£45.46€53.19 on average against $117.62£88.53€103.58 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $57.22£43.07€50.39, so a copy is worth more raw.

What moves the price of this card
The Slowking on this page is the Holofoil printing from HeartGold SoulSilver, and it trades at $52.31£39.37€46.07 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 7 $29.26£22.02€25.77, PSA 8 $64.71£48.70€56.99, PSA 9 $70.68£53.20€62.25, CGC/BGS 9.5 $78£58.71€68.69, PSA 10 $233.14£175.47€205.32. PSA has graded 140 copies of it. 301 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Slowking worth?
A PSA 10 Slowking from HeartGold SoulSilver sells for $233.14. 3.6% 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 Slowking from HeartGold SoulSilver worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $62.01 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $17.63 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $55.61.
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 $233.14£175.47€205.32. 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.
