What sets the price of Blastoise #BS 2

Blastoise #BS 2 is a Rare Holo card from Base Set, the Base era (1999). It ranks as number 25 by price out of 307 cards in the set. The illustration is by Ken Sugimori.

Is it worth grading? Because the stated raw band is very low and no gem-mint multiple is available, grading is difficult to justify on economics alone. Prioritize a clean holographic area, since scuffs and print lines stand out, while back-edge whitening can cap an otherwise attractive copy.
