Whether Medicham is worth grading comes down to condition. Before submitting a card, collectors usually check front and back centring, corner sharpness, edge wear, surface defects, and any print lines or factory imperfections.
Across the hobby, top grades such as PSA 10, BGS/Beckett 9.5–10, and CGC Pristine 10 generally command a premium over raw or lower-graded copies.
PSA has graded 245 copies of this card, of which 180 earned a PSA 10 — a gem rate of about 73.5%. These population figures were last refreshed on June 15, 2026.
