PichuGrading odds
PSA has graded 204 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 60.3% 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 $116.74£87.48€101.87 on average against $104.32£78.18€91.03 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $12.42£9.31€10.84, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.
2 of the 3 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 Caterpie worth?
A PSA 10 Caterpie from Japanese Base Expansion Pack sells for $185.99. 60.3% 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 $107.05 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $5.50 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $1.56.
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 $185.99£139.38€162.29. 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.
