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: no, grading Pikachu does not pay off on our numbers (verdict: SKIP IT).
Pikachu is a Common Lightning-type card from XY, released in 2014, illustrated by MAHOU. Pikachu (XY, #42) sells for about $3.11 raw and around $153.32 as a PSA 10, a gap of roughly 4,830% before grading costs. PSA has graded 300 copies, and about 7% of them received a PSA 10. A PSA 9 sells for around $124.57, so a 9 still beats the raw price. The raw price has fallen about 2% over the last 30 days. Our model gives a 8% chance of a PSA 10. If a copy grades a 10 it nets about $60.29 after the $59.99 grading fee, shipping and selling fees; if it does not, expect to lose about $26.89, so grading pays off when more than 31% 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.
