The Rare Charizard reaches about $115 graded but returns only about 23%, and the holo Zapdos about $100 at roughly 10%.
The six Amazing Rares have a median PSA 10 price of about $80. Rayquaza leads at about $198 and roughly 78% Return on Grading, while Celebi, Raikou and Jirachi sit between about $76 and $85 and fall below break-even.

On current prices it's Vaporeon, at a 675% Return on Grading. It sells for around $0.51 raw and $701.45 in a PSA 10, so the graded price covers the $90.00 it costs to grade and ship with room left over. Prices move weekly, so check the card page before you submit.
By graded price it's Vaporeon, selling for about $701.45 in a PSA 10. That isn't automatically the best card to grade - an expensive chase card usually costs a lot raw as well, which eats into the return.
Vivid Voltage has 203 cards, all of them listed and priced here. 85 currently have enough recent PSA 10 sales for us to score a Return on Grading; the rest are listed with their raw price until graded sales data comes through.
4 cards in Vivid Voltage currently return over 100% on grading, meaning a PSA 10 more than doubles the money you put in. A further 73 don't repay the $90.00 in fees even in a PSA 10, so it's a set to pick from rather than submit wholesale.
Every Return on Grading figure on this page assumes $80.00 for grading plus $10.00 for shipping, or $90.00 per card, matching PSA's Regular tier. You can change both in the calculator on any card page to match the tier and postage you actually use.
