The odds

Golem 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 949%166 of 339
PSA graded so far339
Gem Mint 1050
Total graded339

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 339 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1014.7%$898.00
PSA 949%$106.00
PSA ≤836.3%$41.00

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

For context: a graded PSA 7 slab of this card sells for about $48 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
