Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 36.8% 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 $123.64£92.19€110.60 on average against $129.99£96.93€116.28 for the card plus $79.99£59.65€71.55 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $6.35£4.74€5.68, so a copy is worth more raw.

What is a PSA 10 Scyther worth?
A PSA 10 Scyther from Japanese Wind from the Sea sells for $225.70. 36.8% 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 Scyther from Japanese Wind from the Sea worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $152.87 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $14.99 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $37.89.
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 $225.70£168.30€201.90. 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.
