The cards most worth grading are gold secret Reshiram #114/113 and Zekrom #115/113, plus Radiant Mew EX #RC24 and Reshiram #RC22. Grading sends a card for expert authentication, a 1-to-10 condition score, and sealing in a slab, and it pays only for true mint copies.
Legendary Treasures was the final Black and White expansion, with 113 base cards plus a 25-card Radiant Collection subset numbered RC1-RC25, according to the COMC set checklist. That structure frames the choice. Most cards in the set never repay grading fees.

Which chase cards top the list?
The gold Full Art secrets lead by raw value. According to PriceCharting market data, Reshiram #114/113 sits near $166 ungraded and Zekrom #115/113 near $160, shown in the highest-price PriceCharting ranking. Mint copies are prime targets because buyers already pay a premium raw.
Radiant Collection full arts form the next tier. PriceCharting lists Mew EX #RC24 around $139 raw and Reshiram #RC22 around $73 raw. Other collector submissions include Chandelure EX #77, Charizard holo #19, Shaymin EX #RC21, and Meloetta EX #RC25, per DA Card World.
What does PSA 10 add in this set?
The uplift is extreme for the gold secrets. PriceCharting lists Reshiram #114 near $10,046 in PSA 10 and Zekrom #115 near $18,131 in PSA 10, against about $160 raw. Radiant examples are similar, with Mew EX #RC24 listed around $13,573 in PSA 10 from $139 raw and Reshiram #RC22 around $11,291 from $73 raw.
Selected Collectables explains the general rule behind those jumps. PSA 10 often adds 200-500% over raw, PSA 9 often adds 50-150%, and PSA 8 is often neutral or negative. In short, only high grades move the needle.
How scarce are PSA 10s?
PSA population data show few copies reach the top. Reshiram #RC22 has only 134 PSA 10s with zero higher, according to the PSA certification record for Reshiram. Zekrom #115 shows about 360 PSA 9s with only 39 higher.
That scarcity cuts both ways. A true Gem Mint copy faces little top-grade competition. A slightly off-center copy will likely land in a grade with a much smaller premium.
When should you keep the card raw?
Skip grading for low-value and played copies. Grading starts around $25 per card, so sub-$20 commons lose money even as PSA 10s, per Coffee and Fun and the Non-Sport Cards 2026 guide. Owners should pre-screen and submit only near-mint chase cards, generally $50-$75 and up.
- Check centering front and back under good light
- Check corners for whitening, edges for nicks, and surface for scratches
- Hold played, off-center, or low-value copies raw or sell them ungraded
