AlakazamGrading odds
CGC has graded 174 copies. Where they landed:
These are CGC grades. The prices above are for PSA slabs, and a CGC 10 is not the same grade as a PSA 10, so read the two as separate markets rather than one.
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 24.0% 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 $28.65£21.56€25.23 on average against $101.68£76.53€89.55 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $73.03£54.97€64.32, so a copy is worth more raw.

The Growlithe on this page is the Normal printing from Base Set 2, and it trades at $1.65£1.24€1.45 in near mint condition. Only one printing of this card was produced, so there is no cheaper version to confuse it with.
Graded, it runs PSA 7 $12£9.03€10.57, PSA 8 $15.09£11.36€13.29, PSA 9 $29.72£22.37€26.17, CGC/BGS 9.5 $33£24.84€29.06, PSA 10 $52£39.14€45.79. PSA has graded 146 copies of it. 243 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Growlithe worth?
A PSA 10 Growlithe from Base Set 2 sells for $52. 25.2% 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 Growlithe from Base Set 2 worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $29.42 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $1.69 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $72.26.
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 $52£39.14€45.79. 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.
