UmbreonGrading odds
CGC has graded 219 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 14.7% 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 $108.58£81.72€95.62 on average against $107.93£81.23€95.05 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $0.65£0.49€0.57, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

What moves the price of this card
The Spearow on this page is the Reverse Holofoil printing from EX Sandstorm, and it trades at $6.01£4.52€5.29 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 $21.09£15.87€18.57, PSA 8 $30.50£22.96€26.86, PSA 9 $54.32£40.88€47.84, CGC/BGS 9.5 $60£45.16€52.84, PSA 10 $526£395.89€463.23. PSA has graded 109 copies of it. 206 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Spearow worth?
A PSA 10 Spearow from EX Sandstorm sells for $526. 4.6% 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 Spearow from EX Sandstorm worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $57.35 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $7.94 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $50.58.
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 $526£395.89€463.23. 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.
