PSA has graded 8,168 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 1.4% 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 $1,280£967.80€1,158 on average against $1,449£1,096€1,311 for the card plus $999£755.30€903.91 at Premium 1, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $168.94£127.72€152.86, so a copy is worth more raw.

What moves the price of this card
The Ninetales on this page is the 1st Edition Holofoil printing from Base Set (Shadowless), and it trades at $350.50£265€317.14 in near mint condition. The other 1 printing of the same card sits lower, which is normal: the scarcer print run always carries the premium.
Graded, it runs PSA 1 $112.50£85.06€101.79, PSA 2 $79.97£60.46€72.36, PSA 4 $50£37.80€45.24, PSA 5 $84.48£63.87€76.44, PSA 6 $125£94.51€113.10, PSA 7 $963.13£728.18€871.45, PSA 8 $1,562£1,181€1,413, PSA 9 $2,100£1,588€1,900, CGC/BGS 9.5 $2,310£1,746€2,090, PSA 10 $21,898£16,556€19,814.

What is a PSA 10 Ninetales worth?
A PSA 10 Ninetales from Base Set (Shadowless) sells for $21,898. 3.1% 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 Ninetales from Base Set (Shadowless) worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $1,773 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $430 for a raw copy plus $1,019 to send it through PSA Premium 1, so it clears $324.23.
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 $21,898£16,556€19,814. 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.
