The odds
Pikachu is a Holo / V / ex in Celebrations — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 28.6% of the time, split across 12 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 42 packs.
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.
Grade-by-grade ROI & risk-adjusted outcomesNet vs raw per target grade, plus the probability-weighted distribution
| Target grade | Est. value | Grading fee | Net vs raw | Multiple |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | $1,199.00 | $117 | +$1,076 | 200.5× |
| PSA 9 | $36.00 | $70 | −$40 | 6.0× |
| PSA 8 | $16.29 | $70 | −$60 | 2.7× |
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. Real outcome depends on the grade achieved; PSA 10 is best-case.
