PSA has graded 112 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 6.3% of copies reach a 10, which is why the top price is the wrong number to plan around. Weighting each grade’s PSA price by these odds, a submission is worth $414.66£310.74€361.83 on average against $429£321.49€374.35 for the card plus $349£261.54€304.54 at Super Express, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $14.34£10.75€12.51, so a copy is worth more raw.
2 of the 5 grades priced above had no sales at that grade, so the figure is modelled from the grades that did rather than observed.

Graded, it runs PSA 7 $48.51£36.35€42.33, PSA 8 $155.50£116.53€135.69, PSA 9 $405.73£304.05€354.04, CGC/BGS 9.5 $446£334.23€389.18, PSA 10 $4,605£3,451€4,018. PSA has graded 112 copies of it. 100 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Articuno worth?
A PSA 10 Articuno from Japanese Beat of the Frontier sells for $4,605. 6.3% of the copies PSA has graded came back a 10, so that price is the best case rather than the one a submission should expect.
Is Articuno from Japanese Beat of the Frontier worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $414.66 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $60 for a raw copy plus $369 to send it through PSA Super Express, so it loses $14.34.
Condition does most of the work below the surface. A copy with soft corners or a print line off centre trades well under the market price shown here, and a copy clean enough to grade trades well above it, which is why the PSA 10 sits at $4,605£3,451€4,018. Before you value your own copy, look at the corners under a light and check the centring on the back, where most cards give themselves away.
