PichuGrading odds
PSA has graded 214 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 55.1% 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 $167.61£125.60€146.25 on average against $107.27£80.39€93.60 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $60.34£45.22€52.65, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

What is a PSA 10 Poliwag worth?
A PSA 10 Poliwag from Japanese Base Expansion Pack sells for $291.50. 55.1% 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 Poliwag from Japanese Base Expansion Pack worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $167.61 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $7.28 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $60.34.
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 $291.50£218.45€254.36. 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.
