Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 19.6% 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 $169.24£127.38€149.05 on average against $130.36£98.11€114.80 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $38.88£29.26€34.24, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

What is a PSA 10 Erika's Ivysaur worth?
A PSA 10 Erika's Ivysaur from Gym Challenge sells for $570.71. 21.4% 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 Erika's Ivysaur from Gym Challenge worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $181.05 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $30.37 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $50.69.
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 $570.71£429.54€502.61. 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.
What Erika's Ivysaur does
Stage1, evolves from Bulbasaur · 60 HP · retreat 2
As long as Erika's Ivysaur is your Active Pokémon, whenever an attack (even your own) does damage to any Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance), that attack only does half the damage to that Pokémon (rounded up to the nearest 10). (Any other effects of attacks still happen.) This power stops working while Erika's Ivysaur is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
Flip 2 coins. This attack does 40 damage times the number of heads.
Weak to Fire ×2. Tournament legal in neither standard nor expanded.
