Erika's Paras

Is Erika's Paras worth grading?

Short answer: grading Erika's Paras is a close call on our numbers (verdict: CLOSE CALL).

Erika's Paras is a Common Grass-type card from Gym Challenge, released in 2000, illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Erika's Paras (Gym Challenge, #71) sells for about $2.68 raw and around $192.93 as a PSA 10, a gap of roughly 7,099% before grading costs. PSA has graded 459 copies, and about 34% of them received a PSA 10. A PSA 9 sells for around $32.81, so a 9 still beats the raw price. The raw price has risen about 2% over the last 30 days. Our model gives a 33% chance of a PSA 10. If a copy grades a 10 it nets about $95.18 after the $59.99 grading fee, shipping and selling fees; if it does not, expect to lose about $45.88, so grading pays off when more than 33% 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.
