The odds

Zekrom ex is a Holo / V / ex in Black Bolt — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 27.9% of the time, split across 6 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 22 packs.

Holo / V / ex27.9%6 cards

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 1,650 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1060.4%$55.00
PSA 922.4%$14.00
PSA ≤817.2%$1.00

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 60% of 1,650 CGC-graded Zekrom ex copies are a gem-mint 10 (996 of 1,650) — the rest grade lower.
