VerdictNot worth it

The odds

Arceus VSTAR is a Secret / Rainbow in Brilliant Stars — the pack's hit slot lands on Secret / Rainbow 2.5% of the time, split across 18 secret / rainbow cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 724 packs.

Secret / Rainbow2.5%18 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 10,104 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1042.3%$77.00
PSA 936.7%$28.00
PSA ≤821%$5.00

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.

Only 42% of 10,104 CGC-graded Arceus VSTAR copies are a gem-mint 10 (4,272 of 10,104) — the rest grade lower.
