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 Ninetales does not pay off on our numbers (verdict: SKIP IT).
Ninetales is a Rare Holo Fire-type card from Base Set 2, released in 2000, illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Ninetales (Base Set 2, #13) sells for about $36.80 raw and around $3,574 as a PSA 10, a gap of roughly 9,613% before grading costs. PSA has graded 3,634 copies, and about 2% of them received a PSA 10. A PSA 9 sells for around $192.82, so a 9 still beats the raw price. The raw price has risen about 7% over the last 30 days. Our model gives a 2% chance of a PSA 10. If a copy grades a 10 it nets about $2,714 after the $349.00 grading fee, shipping and selling fees; if it does not, expect to lose about $325.09, so grading pays off when more than 11% 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.
