CGC has graded 37 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 57.1% 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 $54.44£40.33€48.32 on average against $102.91£76.23€91.34 for the card plus $79.99£59.25€70.99 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $48.47£35.90€43.02, so a copy is worth more raw.

The Sandshrew on this page is the 1st Edition printing from Japanese Rocket Gang Strikes Back, and it trades at $2.15£1.59€1.91 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 10 $95.03£70.39€84.34. PSA has graded 21 copies of it. 46 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 $95.03£70.39€84.34. 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.
