How we weigh the odds
We weigh every outcome by how often PSA-graded copies of this card come back a 10, 9 or 8. The average over all outcomes is the last line below.
Pop reports count submitted cards, and people mostly submit their best copies, so the real odds for a random raw card are likely a bit lower.

Short answer: grading Horsea is a close call on our numbers (verdict: CLOSE CALL).
Horsea is a Common Water-type card from Fossil, released in 1999, illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. Horsea (Fossil, #49) sells for about $2.24 raw and around $248.72 as a PSA 10, a gap of roughly 11,004% before grading costs. PSA has graded 3,397 copies, and about 24% of them received a PSA 10. A PSA 9 sells for around $48.85, so a 9 still beats the raw price. The raw price has fallen about 4% over the last 30 days. Our model gives a 24% chance of a PSA 10. If a copy grades a 10 it nets about $144.16 after the $59.99 grading fee, shipping and selling fees; if it does not, expect to lose about $40.99, so grading pays off when more than 22% of copies hit a 10. Whether it is worth grading depends on the condition of your copy, the grading fee and how often this card reaches a 10; the grader on CardHunt gives a free AI estimate from a front and back photo.
