Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 28.5% 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 $87.37£65.76€76.95 on average against $106.48£80.14€93.77 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $19.11£14.38€16.83, so a copy is worth more raw.

What moves the price of this card
The Giovanni's Machoke on this page is the 1st Edition printing from Gym Challenge, and it trades at $6.04£4.55€5.32 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 $3.25£2.45€2.86, PSA 8 $29.50£22.20€25.98, PSA 9 $43.29£32.58€38.12, CGC/BGS 9.5 $48£36.13€42.27, PSA 10 $215£161.82€189.34. PSA has graded 494 copies of it. 586 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Giovanni's Machoke worth?
A PSA 10 Giovanni's Machoke from Gym Challenge sells for $215. 32.1% 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 Giovanni's Machoke from Gym Challenge worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $95.38 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $6.49 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $11.10.
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 $215£161.82€189.34. 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.
