The pics are too low-res to really tell, but based on the back, I'd say 6-7 for PSA, CGC with subgrades would probably get up to 7.5. I'd send it to CGC for $35 with subs (unless you have 49 other cards and can do bulk)... Can't sub to PSA at current prices since it's just a ho-hum unlimited version.
I don’t understand the Pokémon craze. I can understand someone spending ridiculous money on a sports card. The people on sports cards actually did something that will rarely, if ever, be done again (Hank Aaron 755!). These silly cartoon characters never did anything and never will yet the cards keep getting printed and young people keep going crazy over them. I can ALMOST understand the 1st edition Pokémon but not for 200k. Maybe 1k…
Since it's been going on for over 30 years, it would be stupid to call Pokémon a "craze."
Further, this is a collectors' forum, whatever the item. It's patently absurd to criticize pieces of paper you don't understand because you do understand the pieces of paper you actually do collect, regardless of your purported and I'm sure well-reasoned logic.
Are you grading it to sell or to keep? If you're keeping it, I would wait till the prices come down. I don't know if I would grade it to sell, they're pretty hard on cards with white showing.

PSA is BRUTAL on these types of cards. I was thinking a 7 on a very good day

Do you understand?
Probably a 6, maybe a 7 on a good day.
Live long, and prosper.
