Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 89.0% 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 $716.54£536.96€625.25 on average against $199.67£149.63€174.23 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $516.87£387.33€451.02, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

What is a PSA 10 Pikachu worth?
A PSA 10 Pikachu from Japanese SV-P Promotional Cards sells for $787.50. 74.5% 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 Pikachu from Japanese SV-P Promotional Cards worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $622.66 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $99.68 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $422.99.
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 $787.50£590.14€687.17. 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.
