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 Salamence VMAX does not pay off on our numbers (verdict: SKIP IT).
Salamence VMAX is a Rare Rainbow Colorless-type card from Darkness Ablaze, released in 2020, illustrated by 5ban Graphics. Salamence VMAX (Darkness Ablaze, #194) sells for about $13.75 raw and around $83.85 as a PSA 10, a gap of roughly 510% before grading costs. PSA has graded 2,840 copies, and about 83% of them received a PSA 10. A PSA 9 sells for around $32.95, so a 9 still beats the raw price. The raw price has fallen about 6% over the last 30 days. Our model gives a 83% chance of a PSA 10. If a copy grades a 10 it nets about $10.79 less than it costs after the $59.99 grading fee, shipping and selling fees; if it does not, expect to lose about $57.65. 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.
