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 Surfing Pikachu VMAX does not pay off on our numbers (verdict: SKIP IT).
Surfing Pikachu VMAX is a Rare Holo VMAX Lightning-type card from Celebrations, released in 2021, illustrated by aky CG Works. Surfing Pikachu VMAX (Celebrations, #9) sells for about $5.07 raw and around $70.23 as a PSA 10, a gap of roughly 1,285% before grading costs. PSA has graded 15,180 copies, and about 75% of them received a PSA 10. A PSA 9 sells for around $31.10, so a 9 still beats the raw price. The raw price has fallen about 12% over the last 30 days. Our model gives a 75% chance of a PSA 10. If a copy grades a 10 it nets about $13.96 less than it costs after the $59.99 grading fee, shipping and selling fees; if it does not, expect to lose about $49.54. 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.
