Steelix

Is Steelix worth grading?

Short answer: grading Steelix is a close call on our numbers (verdict: CLOSE CALL).

Steelix is a Rare Prime Metal-type card from HS—Unleashed, released in 2010, illustrated by Wataru Kawahara. Steelix (HS—Unleashed, #87) sells for about $144.96 raw and around $1,758 as a PSA 10, a gap of roughly 1,113% before grading costs. PSA has graded 539 copies, and about 2% of them received a PSA 10. A PSA 9 sells for around $1,312, so a 9 still beats the raw price. The raw price has risen about 16% over the last 30 days. Our model gives a 2% chance of a PSA 10. If a copy grades a 10 it nets about $1,175 after the $199.00 grading fee, shipping and selling fees; if it does not, expect to lose about $41.72, so grading pays off when more than 0% 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.
