Pokemon XY is a strong grading set: 33 of its 44 cards (75%) show positive expected value at PSA 10.

We rank all 44 Pokemon XY cards (released 2014) by net profit — combining live raw prices, PSA 10 sale prices, and real PSA population data to show exactly which cards pay off when graded and which lose money to fees.

How We Calculate Grading Profit
Expected value (EV) is the probability-weighted payout of grading a card: the odds of each PSA grade (from real population data) times that grade's market price, minus the raw cost and the grading fee. When EV beats the raw price plus fees, the card is worth grading. Every figure here comes from live PriceCharting prices and GemRate population data, refreshed weekly. See the full methodology.
