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: no, grading Poké Ball does not pay off on our numbers (verdict: SKIP IT).
Poké Ball is a Common card from Base Set 2, released in 2000, illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi. Poké Ball (Base Set 2, #121) sells for about $0.37 raw and around $43.20 as a PSA 10, a gap of roughly 11,576% before grading costs. PSA has graded 146 copies, and about 22% of them received a PSA 10. A PSA 9 sells for around $24.94, so a 9 still beats the raw price. The raw price has fallen about 14% over the last 30 days. Our model gives a 20% chance of a PSA 10. If a copy grades a 10 it nets about $32.78 less than it costs after the $59.99 grading fee, shipping and selling fees; if it does not, expect to lose about $56.68. 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.
