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 77.4% 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 $29.04£21.76€25.34 on average against $103.52£77.58€90.33 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $74.48£55.82€64.99, so a copy is worth more raw.

What is a PSA 10 Staryu worth?
A PSA 10 Staryu from Japanese Pokemon TCG Classic: Blastoise sells for $35.65. 77.4% 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 Staryu from Japanese Pokemon TCG Classic: Blastoise worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $29.04 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $3.53 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $74.48.
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 $35.65£26.72€31.11. 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.
