Why the verdict weights the odds
A PSA 10 sells for $120£89.93€104.71 against $4.99£3.74€4.35 ungraded plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular. Without a PSA population report there is nothing to weight those grades by, so this is a best case rather than an average. CGC numbers cannot stand in: the prices on this ladder are PSA prices and a CGC 10 is an easier grade to reach.

What is a PSA 10 Metapod worth?
A PSA 10 Metapod from Japanese Base Expansion Pack sells for $120. 56.0% 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 Metapod from Japanese Base Expansion Pack worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $81.88 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $11.50 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $29.61.
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 $120£89.93€104.71. 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.
