CGC has graded 61 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 2.7% 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 $25.20£18.97€22.19 on average against $109.99£82.78€96.86 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $84.79£63.82€74.67, so a copy is worth more raw.

What moves the price of this card
The Lapras on this page is the Reverse Holofoil printing from Platinum, and it trades at $14.79£11.13€13.03 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 8 $22.98£17.30€20.24, PSA 9 $28£21.07€24.66, CGC/BGS 9.5 $40£30.11€35.23, PSA 10 $257.63£193.90€226.89. PSA has graded 37 copies of it. 200 completed sales are on file.
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 $257.63£193.90€226.89. 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.
