CGC has graded 284 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 23.8% 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 $131.09£99.11€118.61 on average against $126.66£95.76€114.60 for the card plus $79.99£60.48€72.38 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $4.43£3.35€4.01, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

What moves the price of this card
The Shellder on this page is the Reverse Holofoil printing from Expedition, and it trades at $30.74£23.24€27.81 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 $49£37.05€44.34, PSA 8 $121.95£92.20€110.34, PSA 9 $150£113.41€135.72, CGC/BGS 9.5 $165£124.75€149.29, PSA 10 $180£136.09€162.87. PSA has graded 260 copies of it. 470 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Shellder worth?
A PSA 10 Shellder from Expedition sells for $180. 10.3% 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 $115.93 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $26.67 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $10.73.
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 $180£136.09€162.87. 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.
