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
A PSA 7 sells for $10£7.49€8.73 against $3.99£2.99€3.48 ungraded plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 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.

The Sandshrew on this page is the 1st Edition printing from Japanese Rocket Gang Strikes Back, and it trades at $9£6.74€7.85 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£7.49€8.73. PSA has graded 20 copies of it. 40 completed sales are on file.
Is Sandshrew from Japanese Rocket Gang Strikes Back worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $57.27 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $4.99 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $47.71.
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. 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.
