PSA has graded 3,037 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 3.7% 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 $516.73£388.92€455.07 on average against $622.36£468.42€548.09 for the card plus $349£262.67€307.35 at Super Express, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $105.63£79.50€93.02, so a copy is worth more raw.

The Light Arcanine on this page is the Unlimited Holofoil printing from Neo Destiny, and it trades at $398.57£299.98€351.01 in near mint condition. Only one printing of this card was produced, so there is no cheaper version to confuse it with.
Graded, it runs PSA 1 $210£158.06€184.94, PSA 4 $115£86.55€101.28, PSA 5 $262.55£197.61€231.22, PSA 6 $329£247.62€289.74, PSA 7 $385.58£290.21€339.57, PSA 8 $490.53£369.20€431.99, PSA 9 $638.56£480.61€562.36, CGC/BGS 9.5 $702£528.36€618.23, PSA 10 $2,600£1,957€2,289.

What is a PSA 10 Light Arcanine worth?
A PSA 10 Light Arcanine from Neo Destiny sells for $2,600. 1.9% 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 Light Arcanine from Neo Destiny worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $459.99 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $253.36 for a raw copy plus $369 to send it through PSA Super Express, so it loses $162.37.
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 $2,600£1,957€2,289. 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.
What Light Arcanine does
Stage1, evolves from Growlithe · 100 HP · retreat 2
As long as Light Arcanine is your Active Pokémon, once during your turn (before your attack), if your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, he or she chooses 1 of them and switches it with the Defending Pokémon. This power can't be used while Light Arcanine is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
If the Defending Pokémon is a Baby Pokémon, this attack does 10 damage instead of 50. If the Defending Pokémon is a Basic Pokémon, this attack does 30 damage instead of 50.
Weak to Water ×2. Tournament legal in neither standard nor expanded.
