The odds

Grimer 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)38.4%43 of 112
PSA 943.8%49 of 112
PSA graded so far112
Gem Mint 1043
Total graded112

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 112 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1038.4%$300.00
PSA 943.8%$68.00
PSA ≤817.9%$21.00

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 38% of 112 PSA-graded Grimer copies are a gem-mint 10 (43 of 112) — the rest grade lower.
