Is Mimikyu worth grading?
Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 10.6% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case +$8); most land at PSA 9 or below.
The odds
Mimikyu is a Rare in Darkness Ablaze — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 59.7% of the time, split across 34 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 57 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 | $79.50 | $71 | +$8 | 92.4× |
| PSA 9 | $16.80 | $70 | −$54 | 19.5× |
| PSA 8 | $5.94 | $70 | −$65 | 6.9× |
⚖️ Risk-adjusted return
Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 358 PSA-graded copies:
| Likely outcome | Chance | Value |
|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | 10.6% | $80.00 |
| PSA 9 | 38.8% | $17.00 |
| PSA ≤8 | 50.6% | $4.00 |
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
Only 26% of 46 PSA-graded Mimikyu copies are a gem-mint 10 (12 of 46) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — a lower gem rate means a Mimikyu 10 is harder to pull.
