Over the last 30 days, an ungraded Bulbasaur has moved up 11.2% to $16.55. PSA 10 copies are unchanged over the same period.

Bulbasaur #SM198 is a Promo, one of the higher rarity tiers in Sun & Moon Black Star Promos.

At $16.55 raw, you need a PSA 10 to profit. A PSA 10 sells for $59.00, giving a net return of +$6.78 after grading costs and selling fees. PSA 9 returns +$0.09 and PSA 8 returns −$32.67, so a PSA 9 or 10 can profit, while anything below that loses money on this card.

PSA have graded 249 copies of Bulbasaur #SM198, of which 23 came back as PSA 10. That is a gem rate of 9.2%, or roughly 1 in 11 graded copies.
