About these prices

10Grading odds
CGC has graded 242 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 26.3% 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 $26.33£19.82€23.19 on average against $100.98£76€88.93 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $74.65£56.19€65.74, so a copy is worth more raw.

What moves the price of this card
The Kakuna on this page is the Normal printing from Base Set 2, and it trades at $0.91£0.68€0.80 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 $4£3.01€3.52, PSA 8 $5.38£4.05€4.74, PSA 9 $16.33£12.29€14.38, CGC/BGS 9.5 $18£13.55€15.85, PSA 10 $67.53£50.83€59.47. PSA has graded 133 copies of it. 161 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Kakuna worth?
A PSA 10 Kakuna from Base Set 2 sells for $67.53. 27.9% 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 Kakuna from Base Set 2 worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $27.40 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $0.99 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $73.58.
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 $67.53£50.83€59.47. 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.
