Chansey #BS 3: rarity, grading and trend

Chansey #BS 3 is a Rare Holo card from Base Set, the Base era (1999). It ranks as number 79 by price out of 307 cards in the set. The illustration is by Ken Sugimori.

Is it worth grading? Given the minimal raw cost shown here, only a standout copy is a reasonable grading candidate when no top-grade multiplier is provided. Chansey's broad, light holographic background readily exposes hairline scratching, and front-edge silvering is another presentation flaw to screen carefully.
