Short answer: 5 cards show a positive expected profit after grading, shipping and selling fees. Best is Dragonite #9, about $4,025 per card on average, with a 2% chance of a PSA 10. Biggest trap: Fearow #11 has a big PSA 10 price ($13,683) but averages a loss of $240.87 per card.

Expected profit = chance of each PSA grade from PSA population data, times its price, minus the raw card, grading, shipping and selling fees. An estimate, not a promise. See the full grading report.
