Moltres, the legendary fire bird, made its way into the 2013 Legendary Treasures set as card #22, a Rare pull illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita in that classic, fiery pose collectors love. If you're digging into the Moltres value right now, the short answer is that it sits at a modest but steady price point, the kind of card that rewards patience more than luck. It's not a chase card in the flashy sense, but there's real charm in owning a piece of one of the original legendary birds.

The collector's take on Moltres
Is Moltres worth grading?
So is Moltres worth grading? Here's where it gets interesting. A raw copy runs about $4, and PSA has priced a PSA 10 at $7, which works out to roughly 1.6 times the raw value, a solid but not massive jump. Oddly enough, a Grade 9 is currently valued higher at $64, a good reminder that grading markets don't always move in a straight, predictable line. What stays consistent is the difficulty of hitting gem mint: with only 10 PSA 10s on record out of 219 total graded copies, that top grade is genuinely hard to land. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's no refund if your card comes back a 9 instead of a 10, so look closely at your corners and surface before you commit.
How rare is Moltres?
Scarcity here isn't about a tiny print run, it's about what's actually made it into grading company hands. Of the 219 Moltres copies graded so far, only 10 have come back as a perfect PSA 10. That's a narrow slice sitting at the very top of a fairly modest population overall. It's part of why the Moltres price holds steady even though this is a Rare rather than a chase-tier card, and why that PSA 10 tier carries real weight for anyone comparing options.
Where can you pull Moltres?
Here's the honest, insider part: we track real pulls across pack-opening sites at PackSpy, and Moltres hasn't shown up in any pull we've recorded yet. That tells us this card leans rare or high-end enough that it's not turning up in the packs people are actually ripping on tracked sites right now. Realistically, if you're after a Moltres, your best bet today is the secondary market rather than hoping for a fresh pull, and remember that opening packs is a gamble where most rips don't cover their cost. We'll update this page the moment we log a genuine pull, since that's the kind of real data no price guide can give you.
Questions people ask
How much is Moltres worth?+
A raw, ungraded Moltres from Legendary Treasures currently sits around $4. Graded copies shift the picture, with a Grade 9 valued at $64 and a PSA 10 at $7, so condition and grading status matter a lot when pricing this card.
Is Moltres worth grading?+
It depends on the copy in your hands. The PSA 10 price is about 1.6 times the raw value, but only 10 of the 219 graded copies have hit that gem mint grade, so it's not an easy tier to reach. If your card is genuinely clean, grading can make sense, but go in knowing there's real cost and no guaranteed outcome.
How much is a PSA 10 Moltres worth?+
A PSA 10 Moltres is valued at $7, which comes out to roughly 1.6 times the raw card's price. Only 10 copies out of 219 total graded have earned that perfect grade, which makes it a meaningful, if modest, badge for collectors chasing the top of the population.
