PSA has graded 3,466 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 24.2% 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 $56.42£42.46€49.68 on average against $102.10£76.85€89.92 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $45.68£34.38€40.23, so a copy is worth more raw.

The Tentacool on this page is the 1st Edition printing from Fossil, and it trades at $1.47£1.11€1.29 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.

What is a PSA 10 Tentacool worth?
A PSA 10 Tentacool from Fossil sells for $163.75. 25.0% 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 Tentacool from Fossil worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $57.93 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $2.11 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $44.17.
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 $163.75£123.25€144.21. 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.
