PSA population
PSA has graded 653 copies of Piplup at PSA 10 out of 846 total PSA graded — a 77% gem (PSA 10) rate.
Is grading worth it — at the real gem rate?
Buying raw at $12 and grading: a 10 nets ~$73, a 9 nets ~$25. At this card's real 77% gem rate, the expected outcome is +$25 after a ~$25 grading fee — assuming a clean copy that grades 9 or 10. Below-9 outcomes make it worse; a sharp eye for centering and surface is what beats these odds.
