Charizard VSTARGrading odds
CGC has graded 442 copies. Where they landed:
These are CGC grades. The prices above are for PSA slabs, and a CGC 10 is not the same grade as a PSA 10, so read the two as separate markets rather than one.
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 89.9% 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 $26.22£19.65€22.88 on average against $101.99£76.43€89 for the card plus $79.99£59.94€69.80 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $75.77£56.78€66.12, so a copy is worth more raw.

The Moltres on this page is the Holofoil printing from Japanese VSTAR Universe, and it trades at $0.24£0.18€0.21 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 9 $4£3€3.49, CGC/BGS 9.5 $5.50£4.12€4.80, PSA 10 $28.73£21.53€25.07. PSA has graded 69 copies of it. 78 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Moltres worth?
A PSA 10 Moltres from Japanese VSTAR Universe sells for $28.73. 88.5% 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 VSTAR Universe worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $25.89 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $2 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $76.10.
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 $28.73£21.53€25.07. 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.
