Grading odds

Why the verdict weights the odds

Only 54.9% 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 $209.41£156.15€187.33 on average against $110.48£82.38€98.83 for the card plus $79.99£59.65€71.55 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $98.93£73.77€88.50, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

What moves the price of this card

The Zapdos G on this page is the 1st Edition Holofoil printing from Japanese Advent of Arceus, and it trades at $40£29.83€35.78 in near mint condition. Only one printing of this card was produced, so there is no cheaper version to confuse it with.

Graded, it runs PSA 7 $26£19.39€23.26, PSA 8 $32.50£24.23€29.07, PSA 9 $86£64.13€76.93, CGC/BGS 9.5 $95£70.84€84.98, PSA 10 $329£245.32€294.30. PSA has graded 534 copies of it. 218 completed sales are on file.

What is a PSA 10 Zapdos G worth?

A PSA 10 Zapdos G from Japanese Advent of Arceus sells for $329. 58.5% 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 Zapdos G from Japanese Advent of Arceus worth grading?

On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $219.33 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $10.49 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $108.85.

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 $329£245.32€294.30. 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.
