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.
▼ Volatile: the raw price moved -21% in the last 30 days. PSA Standard takes about 90–100 business days (roughly 4–5 months), so this pick is more sensitive to the price moving before the slab comes back.
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 Darkness Energy does not pay off on our numbers (verdict: SKIP IT).
Darkness Energy is a Rare Secret card from Evolving Skies, released in 2021. Darkness Energy (Evolving Skies, #236) sells for about $18.29 raw and around $71.46 as a PSA 10, a gap of roughly 291% before grading costs. PSA has graded 517 copies, and about 49% of them received a PSA 10. A PSA 9 sells for around $24.92, so a 9 still beats the raw price. The raw price has fallen about 21% over the last 30 days. Our model gives a 49% chance of a PSA 10. If a copy grades a 10 it nets about $26.11 less than it costs after the $59.99 grading fee, shipping and selling fees; if it does not, expect to lose about $68.99. 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.
