PSA has graded 98 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 3.1% 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 $154.02£114.85€137.78 on average against $156.38£116.61€139.89 for the card plus $79.99£59.65€71.55 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $2.36£1.76€2.11, 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.

What is a PSA 10 Moltres worth?
A PSA 10 Moltres from Japanese Beat of the Frontier sells for $1,023. 2.8% 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 Moltres from Japanese Beat of the Frontier worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $129.83 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $56.39 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $26.55.
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 $1,023£762.65€914.91. 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.
