What is a PSA 10 Snorlax worth?

Is Snorlax from Japanese Amazing Volt Tackle worth grading?

On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $107.21 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $3.87 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $3.35.

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 $120£89.93€104.71. 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.
