My first and only card graded (so far) was a Chinese 151 baby Mew.
Got a 9.5
$30
worth it or not
Do you enjoy the card? If yes, then it was worth it.

Yeah, why not! A nice card for a reasonable price sounds always good.

I haven’t graded that many cards myself. But here are the ones I’ve graded for my personal collection:
This Moltres artwork is my favorite of the Pokémon TCG, and I’ve been collecting all raw; sealed; and graded variants for it.
The BGS 10, 9, and second 9.5 are all the error illustrator variant, for which I later bought the POP-1 BGS-BL10:
The first BGS-9.5 is the corrected illustrator, with none graded higher yet.
And the PSA-4 is the original card I received at the cinemas as a kid, graded for nostalgia sake and fun. 
I’ve also graded a French PCA-9 myself, and might do something similar for the other languages I’m missing at some point..
As for some non-Moltres cards I’ve graded, the Korean ©2020 Ancient Mew comes to mind, although this was in the time when PSA took roughly 3/4 to a full year to grade cards, so I also ended up buying one from eBay before I received back all four I send in as PSA-10s. 
The other five in the Ancient Mew sixtet were bought, as evident by the varying cert numbers:
I’ve also graded a PSA-10 175/XY-P Pikachu with Event Organizer stamp, since I had two copies at the time (ignore the regular version on the left):
But, the best cards I’ve gotten graded aren’t in my collection anymore: the EBD trio. The Acerola I was expecting a 9 for when I send all three in, so I was very happy with three PSA-10s. Even more so when I sold them two years ago for 150k USD and used that money, plus savings and a mortgage, to buy a house.
