Should I grade Onix (71/100)?

It's roughly a wash: with a 4% PSA 10 gem rate and current graded prices, grading a near-mint Onix (71/100) is estimated to come out within about $10 of selling it raw (est.); grade for protection or display, not profit.

Assumes ~$25/card bulk-rate grading (standard service costs more); ignores turnaround time, sub-9 grades, and shipping. A screen, not a promise.

Is Onix (71/100) rare?

Onix (71/100) is a Common. PSA has graded 90 copies to date, so graded supply is measurable and growing.

How rare is a PSA 10 Onix (71/100)?

Of the 90 copies PSA has graded, 4% earned a PSA 10. That's a low gem rate, so flawless copies are genuinely hard to come by. Grade-by-grade population and pop-over-time appear with Riffle premium.

Should I grade Onix?

Roughly a wash: grade for protection, not profit (est.)

Expected grading return from this card’s own PSA grade mix (4% gem rate; grades under 8 valued at the PSA 8 price) and current graded market prices, minus a ~$25/card bulk-rate grading fee, compared against selling ungraded at market price. Standard grading service costs more; centering risk, turnaround time, and shipping aren’t included. The exact PSA 8/9/10 prices behind this are part of Riffle premium. Not financial advice.

Census as of

Why this estimate
  • $0.80–$1 is the middle 80% of clean market activity, not the cheapest listing and not the most hopeful one.
  • The band spans about ±16% around its midpoint: a moderate spread.
  • Sampled daily since July 28, 2026, current as of September 14, 2026.

When the data thins, the band widens and says so, it never fakes precision. Exact source prices are part of Riffle premium; the band is Riffle’s own figure to publish. How these numbers work →
