The range is wide because these sales span different printings and conditions — 1st Edition, Shadowless and Unlimited copies all carry this card's name, and they trade at very different levels. Each sale above is labelled with what its listing claimed, so you can see which ones describe the same object. Treat the median as the typical copy, not the range.

The odds

Moltres is a Holo / V / ex in Fossil — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 33% of the time, split across 15 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 45 packs.

Holo / V / ex33%15 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)1.1%96 of 8,593
PSA 914.2%1,219 of 8,593
PSA graded so far8,593
Gem Mint 1096
Total graded8,593

Estimates only. Pack odds come from CardTrack's pack model (the same one behind the pack simulator) — not an official rate. Grading odds are the real cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies, so it overstates the true first-submission gem rate. Full grade-by-grade breakdown below.

⚖️ Risk-adjusted return

Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 8,593 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 101.1%$717.00
PSA 914.2%$233.00
PSA ≤884.7%$70.00

Net = graded value − raw value − grading cost (tier fee + ~$20 round-trip shipping), using PSA fees as of 2026-06-28; the paused PSA Value tier is excluded so this isn't overstated. Gem rate is estimated from cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies — so it overstates the true grade rate. Treat it as a guide, not a guarantee.

Population across gradersPSA, CGC & BGS — every grade, with gem rates

Only 1% of 8,593 PSA-graded Moltres copies are a gem-mint 10 (96 of 8,593) — the rest grade lower.
