Giovanni's Machoke

Is Giovanni's Machoke worth grading?

Short answer: yes, grading Giovanni's Machoke looks worth it on our numbers (verdict: GRADE IT).

Giovanni's Machoke is an Uncommon Fighting-type card from Gym Challenge, released in 2000, illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Giovanni's Machoke (Gym Challenge, #42) sells for about $6.61 raw and around $347.55 as a PSA 10, a gap of roughly 5,158% before grading costs. PSA has graded 397 copies, and about 30% of them received a PSA 10. A PSA 9 sells for around $60.78, so a 9 still beats the raw price. The raw price has risen about 8% over the last 30 days. Our model gives a 30% chance of a PSA 10. If a copy grades a 10 it nets about $225.77 after the $59.99 grading fee, shipping and selling fees; if it does not, expect to lose about $31.39, so grading pays off when more than 12% 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.
