The odds

Combusken is a Rare in Crystal Guardians — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 67% of the time, split across 16 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 24 packs.

Rare67%16 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)23.5%4 of 17

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 17 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1023.5%$77.00
PSA 947.1%$30.00
PSA ≤829.4%$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 & TAG — every grade, with gem rates

“Sold” = median of real recent sold listings at that grade (eBay or Fanatics Collect — hover a badge to see which). “Modelled” = no verified graded sale behind the figure; it is derived from the raw price and reference guides, so treat it as a ceiling to check, not a price to quote.
