Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 9.6% 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 $35.49£26.71€31.26 on average against $109.98£82.78€96.86 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $74.49£56.06€65.60, so a copy is worth more raw.
1 of the 4 grades priced above had no sales at that grade, so the figure is modelled from the grades that did rather than observed.

What is a PSA 10 Bulbasaur (In-Store Event Promo) worth?
A PSA 10 Bulbasaur (In-Store Event Promo) from SM Promos sells for $96.27. 9.6% of the copies PSA has graded came back a 10, so that price is the best case rather than the one a submission should expect.
Is Bulbasaur (In-Store Event Promo) from SM Promos worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $35.49 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $9.99 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $74.49.
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 $96.27£72.46€84.78. 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.
