Completed eBay UK sales, in pounds, where the listing recorded the grader and the grade. The graders are not interchangeable here: across 154 cards with both, an Ace 10 sells for about 60% of a PSA 10, and an Ace 9 for about 80% of a PSA 9. The count beside each price is how many sales it is a median of.

A PSA 10 Typhlosion from Japanese Base Expansion Pack sells for $1,256. 40.0% 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 Typhlosion from Japanese Base Expansion Pack worth grading?

On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $696.55 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $103.11 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $493.45.

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 $1,256£936.55€1,124. 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.
