Why Raichu #BS 14 is priced where it is

Raichu #BS 14 is a Rare Holo card from Base Set, the Base era (1999). It ranks as number 51 by price out of 307 cards in the set. Over the last 30 days the price fell -9.6%, from $65.40 to $59.12. The illustration is by Ken Sugimori.

Is it worth grading? Here, the higher raw band makes professional grading more plausible, although the absence of a gem-mint multiple prevents a firm premium comparison. Scratching in the holographic field is the key issue, and clean yellow borders can still be undermined by whitening on the reverse.
