The odds

Moltres is a Commoncard — a guaranteed slot in every pack, not a rarity gamble, so there's no pull-odds figure for it.

PSA 10 (gem mint)6.9%16 of 233
PSA 935.2%82 of 233
PSA graded so far233
Gem Mint 1016
Total graded233

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 233 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 106.9%$650.00
PSA 935.2%$168.00
PSA ≤857.9%$56.00

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 7% of 233 PSA-graded Moltres copies are a gem-mint 10 (16 of 233) — the rest grade lower.

What NM / LP / MP actually mean — and how much they cost

For context: a graded PSA 7 slab of this card sells for about $50 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
