Should you grade it?

$37

Raw $4.30 → graded PSA 8$37.36, after ~$70.36 grading fee → 8.7× the raw value.

The odds

Empoleon is a Holo / V / ex in Diamond & Pearl — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 33% of the time, split across 20 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 61 packs.

Holo / V / ex33%20 cards

PSA 919.9%53 of 267

Gem Mint 107
Total graded267

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.

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.

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