CGC has graded 316 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 35.6% 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 $65.36£49.19€57.56 on average against $106.76£80.35€94.02 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $41.40£31.16€36.46, so a copy is worth more raw.

The Metapod on this page is the 1st Edition printing from Neo Discovery, and it trades at $8.76£6.59€7.71 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 $10.40£7.83€9.16, PSA 8 $23.24£17.49€20.47, PSA 9 $30.99£23.32€27.29, CGC/BGS 9.5 $35£26.34€30.82, PSA 10 $135.09£101.68€118.97. PSA has graded 180 copies of it. 297 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Metapod worth?
A PSA 10 Metapod from Neo Discovery sells for $135.09. 40.9% 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 Metapod from Neo Discovery worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $71.56 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $6.77 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $35.20.
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 $135.09£101.68€118.97. 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.
