Is Magneton worth grading?

Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 0.3% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case +$64); most land at PSA 9 or below.

The odds

Magneton is a Holo / V / ex in Evolutions — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 27.9% of the time, split across 25 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 90 packs.

Holo / V / ex27.9%25 cards

PSA 955.8%1,884 of 3,378
PSA graded so far3,378
Gem Mint 109
Total graded3,378

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 3,327 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 100.3%$138.00
PSA 956.1%$23.00
PSA ≤843.6%$10.00

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 & TAG — every grade, with gem rates

Only 0% of 3,378 PSA-graded Magneton copies are a gem-mint 10 (9 of 3,378) — the rest grade lower.

“Sold” = median of real recent sold listings at that grade (eBay or Fanatics Collect — hover a badge to see which). “Modelled” = no verified graded sale behind the figure; it is derived from the raw price and reference guides, so treat it as a ceiling to check, not a price to quote.
