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.
▲ Volatile: the raw price moved +30% in the last 30 days. PSA Standard takes about 90–100 business days (roughly 4–5 months), so this pick is more sensitive to the price moving before the slab comes back.
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.

Houndoom is a Rare Holo Darkness-type card from Plasma Blast, released in 2013, illustrated by Shin Nagasawa. Houndoom (Plasma Blast, #56) sells for about $10.80 raw and around $476.69 as a PSA 10, a gap of roughly 4,314% before grading costs. PSA has graded 157 copies, and about 5% of them received a PSA 10. A PSA 9 sells for around $103.16, so a 9 still beats the raw price. The raw price has risen about 30% over the last 30 days. Our model gives a 5% chance of a PSA 10. If a copy grades a 10 it nets about $333.93 after the $59.99 grading fee, shipping and selling fees; if it does not, expect to lose about $37.28, so grading pays off when more than 10% 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.
