How we weigh the odds
We weigh every outcome by how often PSA-graded copies of this card come back a 10, 9 or 8. The average over all outcomes is the last line below.
Pop reports count submitted cards, and people mostly submit their best copies, so the real odds for a random raw card are likely a bit lower.

Short answer: yes, grading Lt. Surge's Jolteon looks worth it on our numbers (verdict: GRADE IT).
Lt. Surge's Jolteon is a Rare Lightning-type card from Gym Challenge, released in 2000, illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Lt. Surge's Jolteon (Gym Challenge, #28) sells for about $50.12 raw and around $717.90 as a PSA 10, a gap of roughly 1,332% before grading costs. PSA has graded 712 copies, and about 23% of them received a PSA 10. A PSA 9 sells for around $126.24, so a 9 still beats the raw price. The raw price has risen about 5% over the last 30 days. Our model gives a 23% chance of a PSA 10. If a copy grades a 10 it nets about $504.46 after the $59.99 grading fee, shipping and selling fees; if it does not, expect to lose about $37.83, so grading pays off when more than 7% of copies hit a 10. Whether it is worth grading depends on the condition of your copy, the grading fee and how often this card reaches a 10; the grader on CardHunt gives a free AI estimate from a front and back photo.
