Surfing Pikachu

Is Surfing Pikachu worth grading?

Surfing Pikachu is a Promo Lightning-type card from Wizards Black Star Promos, released in 1999, illustrated by Toshinao Aoki. Surfing Pikachu (Wizards Black Star Promos, #28) sells for about $59.44 raw and around $1,320 as a PSA 10, a gap of roughly 2,121% before grading costs. A PSA 9 sells for around $186.41, so a 9 still beats the raw price. The raw price has fallen about 10% over the last 30 days. Our model gives a 18% chance of a PSA 10. If a copy grades a 10 it nets about $999.89 after the $79.00 grading fee, shipping and selling fees; if it does not, expect to lose about $52.62, so grading pays off when more than 5% of copies hit a 10 (a rough estimate: few graded copies). 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.
