About these prices
4.0% of copies sent to PSA come back a 10. The 9.5 is a CGC and BGS grade, so it carries no PSA population. A PSA 1 selling above a PSA 2 is the market, not a slip: the cheapest slabbed copy of a card people want is its own thing to want.

PSA has graded 3,530 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 3.2% 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 $3,177£2,402€2,875 on average against $2,420£1,830€2,190 for the card plus $1,999£1,511€1,809 at Premium 2, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $756.83£572.20€684.79, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

What moves the price of this card
The Venusaur on this page is the Reverse Holofoil printing from Legendary Collection, and it trades at $799.99£604.84€723.84 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 1 $506.55£382.98€458.33, PSA 2 $210£158.77€190.01, PSA 3 $330£249.50€298.59, PSA 4 $520£393.15€470.50, PSA 5 $594.75£449.66€538.14, PSA 6 $835.36£631.58€755.85, PSA 7 $1,398£1,057€1,265, PSA 8 $2,937£2,220€2,657, PSA 9 $3,881£2,934€3,511, CGC/BGS 9.5 $4,118£3,114€3,726, PSA 10 $45,150£34,136€40,852. PSA has graded 3,530 copies of it. 2,537 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Venusaur worth?
A PSA 10 Venusaur from Legendary Collection sells for $45,150. 4.0% 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 Venusaur from Legendary Collection worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $3,370 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $401.20 for a raw copy plus $2,019 to send it through PSA Premium 2, so it clears $949.79.
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 $45,150£34,136€40,852. 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.
