The odds

Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex is a Secret / Rainbow in Ascended Heroes — the pack's hit slot lands on Secret / Rainbow 2.5% of the time, split across 24 secret / rainbow cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 965 packs.

Secret / Rainbow2.5%24 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)69.6%2,175 of 3,127
PSA 927.2%849 of 3,127
PSA graded so far3,127
Gem Mint 102,175
Total graded3,127

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 3,127 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1069.6%$880.00
PSA 927.2%$362.00
PSA ≤83.3%$345.00

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 70% of 3,127 PSA-graded Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex copies are a gem-mint 10 (2,175 of 3,127) — the rest grade lower.
