Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 22.0% 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 $152.13£114.50€133.98 on average against $133.85£100.74€117.88 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $18.28£13.76€16.10, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

What is a PSA 10 Erika's Bulbasaur worth?

Is Erika's Bulbasaur from Gym Challenge worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $162.78 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $33.86 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $28.93.
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 $440£331.16€387.49. 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.
