The odds

Magikarp 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)28.7%286 of 998
PSA 953.9%538 of 998
PSA graded so far998
Gem Mint 10286
Total graded998

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 998 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1028.7%$181.00
PSA 953.9%$22.00
PSA ≤817.4%$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 — every grade, with gem rates

Only 29% of 998 PSA-graded Magikarp copies are a gem-mint 10 (286 of 998) — the rest grade lower.
