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: yes, grading Blaine's Charmander looks worth it on our numbers (verdict: GRADE IT).
Blaine's Charmander is a Common Fire-type card from Gym Heroes, released in 2000, illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Blaine's Charmander (Gym Heroes, #61) sells for about $13.67 raw and around $736.35 as a PSA 10, a gap of roughly 5,287% before grading costs. PSA has graded 1,549 copies, and about 17% of them received a PSA 10. A PSA 9 sells for around $82.40, so a 9 still beats the raw price. The raw price has risen about 3% over the last 30 days. Our model gives a 16% chance of a PSA 10. If a copy grades a 10 it nets about $556.96 after the $59.99 grading fee, shipping and selling fees; if it does not, expect to lose about $32.54, so grading pays off when more than 6% 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.
