PSA has graded 96 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 54.2% of copies reach a 10, which is why the top price is the wrong number to plan around. Weighting each grade’s PSA price by these odds, a submission is worth $72.60£53.78€64.43 on average against $103.13£76.39€91.53 for the card plus $79.99£59.25€70.99 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $30.53£22.62€27.10, so a copy is worth more raw.

Is Ariados from Japanese Golden Sky, Silvery Ocean worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $72.60 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $3.14 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $30.53.
Condition does most of the work below the surface. A copy with soft corners or a print line off centre trades well under the market price shown here, and a copy clean enough to grade trades well above it, which is why the PSA 10 sits at $118.04£87.44€104.77. Before you value your own copy, look at the corners under a light and check the centring on the back, where most cards give themselves away.
