The odds

Ampharos ex is a Holo / V / ex in Dragon — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 33% of the time, split across 21 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 64 packs.

Holo / V / ex33%21 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)3.9%56 of 1,429
PSA 924.2%346 of 1,429
PSA graded so far1,429
Gem Mint 1056
Total graded1,429

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 1,429 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 103.9%$9,000.00
PSA 924.2%$660.00
PSA ≤871.9%$236.00

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 4% of 1,429 PSA-graded Ampharos ex copies are a gem-mint 10 (56 of 1,429) — the rest grade lower.
