The odds

Pichu 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)29.3%34 of 116
PSA 936.2%42 of 116
PSA graded so far116
Gem Mint 1034
Total graded116

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 116 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1029.3%$128.00
PSA 936.2%$44.00
PSA ≤834.5%$8.00

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 116 PSA-graded Pichu copies are a gem-mint 10 (34 of 116) — the rest grade lower.

What NM / LP / MP actually mean — and how much they cost

For context: a graded PSA 7 slab of this card sells for about $38 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
