PSA has graded 934 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 18.5% 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 $66.33£49.92€58.41 on average against $105.67£79.53€93.06 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $39.34£29.61€34.65, so a copy is worth more raw.

The Chikorita (53) on this page is the 1st Edition printing from Neo Genesis, and it trades at $7.77£5.85€6.84 in near mint condition. The other 1 printing of the same card sits lower, which is normal: the scarcer print run always carries the premium.
Graded, it runs PSA 7 $15.44£11.62€13.60, PSA 8 $25.25£19€22.24, PSA 9 $34.25£25.78€30.16, CGC/BGS 9.5 $34.43£25.91€30.32, PSA 10 $236.41£177.93€208.20. PSA has graded 934 copies of it. 596 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Chikorita (53) worth?
A PSA 10 Chikorita (53) from Neo Genesis sells for $236.41. 18.5% 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 Chikorita (53) from Neo Genesis worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $66.33 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $5.68 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $39.34.
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 $236.41£177.93€208.20. 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.
