PSA has graded 222 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 57.7% 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 $137.28£102.36€122.80 on average against $105.18£78.43€94.09 for the card plus $79.99£59.65€71.55 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $32.10£23.93€28.71, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

Graded, it runs PSA 8 $23£17.15€20.57, PSA 9 $41.26£30.77€36.91, CGC/BGS 9.5 $45£33.55€40.25, PSA 10 $211.42£157.65€189.12. PSA has graded 222 copies of it. 171 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Caterpie worth?
A PSA 10 Caterpie from Japanese Base Expansion Pack sells for $211.42. 63.6% 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 Caterpie from Japanese Base Expansion Pack worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $147.78 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $5.19 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $42.60.
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 $211.42£157.65€189.12. 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.
