Should you grade it?

The odds

Thundurus-EX 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)1.9%2 of 105
PSA 931.4%33 of 105
PSA graded so far105
Gem Mint 102
Total graded105

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 105 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 101.9%$75.00
PSA 931.4%$67.00
PSA ≤866.7%$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.

Population across gradersPSA, CGC & BGS — every grade, with gem rates

Only 2% of 105 PSA-graded Thundurus-EX copies are a gem-mint 10 (2 of 105) — the rest grade lower.
