The odds

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

PSA 10 (gem mint)25%282 of 1,127
PSA 939.5%445 of 1,127

Gem Mint 10282

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 1,127 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1025%$147.00
PSA 939.5%$50.00
PSA ≤835.5%$2.00

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.

For context: a graded PSA 5 slab of this card sells for about $14 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
