PichuGrading odds
PSA has graded 84 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
A CGC/BGS 9.5 sells for $9.50£7.12€8.29 against $14.26£10.69€12.44 ungraded plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular. Without a PSA population report there is nothing to weight those grades by, so this is a best case rather than an average. CGC numbers cannot stand in: the prices on this ladder are PSA prices and a CGC 10 is an easier grade to reach.

The Cloyster on this page is the 1st Edition printing from Japanese Base Expansion Pack, and it trades at $13.07£9.79€11.40 in near mint condition. Only one printing of this card was produced, so there is no cheaper version to confuse it with.

Is Cloyster from Japanese Base Expansion Pack worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $84.31 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $19.99 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $35.67.
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. 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.
