CGC has graded 276 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 24.1% 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 $72.04£54.22€63.45 on average against $123.99£93.32€109.19 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $51.95£39.10€45.75, so a copy is worth more raw.

What moves the price of this card
The Shellder on this page is the Reverse Holofoil printing from Expedition, and it trades at $29.18£21.96€25.70 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 $32£24.08€28.18, PSA 8 $39.99£30.10€35.22, PSA 9 $69.29£52.15€61.02, CGC/BGS 9.5 $76£57.20€66.93, PSA 10 $142.50£107.25€125.50. PSA has graded 253 copies of it. 374 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Shellder worth?
A PSA 10 Shellder from Expedition sells for $142.50. 11.0% 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 Shellder from Expedition worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $57.56 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $24 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $66.43.
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 $142.50£107.25€125.50. 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.
