EspeonGrading odds
CGC has graded 35 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
A PSA 10 sells for $44.02£33.13€38.77 against $1£0.75€0.88 ungraded plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 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.
1 of the 4 grades priced above had no sales at that grade, so the figure is modelled from the grades that did rather than observed.
What CGC copies sold for
Sold prices from listings that named the grader and the grade, not asking prices, and not a PSA figure converted across. A CGC 9 runs about 0.44x the PSA 9 on the cards where we hold both, but the spread is wide enough that it is only worth quoting where copies actually traded, which is what these are. The count beside each price is how many.
CGC 9 and 9.5 are one row on purpose. A CGC 9.5 sells for 3% more than a 9 across the corpus and is the cheaper of the two on nearly half of cards, so the market is not pricing them apart and splitting them here would invent a distinction. BGS is left split because there the same test says a 9.5 really is worth about 30% more.

What moves the price of this card
The Professor Birch on this page is the Normal printing from EX Battle Stadium, and it trades at $0.60£0.45€0.53 in near mint condition. Only one printing of this card was produced, so there is no cheaper version to confuse it with.
Graded, it runs PSA 8 $7.59£5.71€6.68, PSA 9 $8.65£6.51€7.62, CGC/BGS 9.5 $10£7.53€8.81, PSA 10 $44.02£33.13€38.77. PSA has graded 15 copies of it. 54 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 $44.02£33.13€38.77. 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.
