10Grading odds
CGC has graded 96 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 13.5% 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 $49.70£37.41€43.77 on average against $111.94£84.25€98.58 for the card plus $79.99£60.20€70.44 at Regular, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $62.24£46.84€54.81, so a copy is worth more raw.

What moves the price of this card
The Torkoal on this page is the Normal printing from POP Series 1, and it trades at $12.20£9.18€10.74 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 8 $39.50£29.73€34.79, PSA 9 $43£32.36€37.87, CGC/BGS 9.5 $47£35.37€41.39, PSA 10 $157.17£118.29€138.41. PSA has graded 37 copies of it. 85 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Torkoal worth?
A PSA 10 Torkoal from POP Series 1 sells for $157.17. 15.6% 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 Torkoal from POP Series 1 worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $52.42 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $11.95 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it loses $59.52.
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 $157.17£118.29€138.41. 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.
