Should you grade it?
Raw $4.87 → graded PSA 9 ≈ $26.00, after ~$70.25 grading fee → 5.3× the raw value.
The odds
Nidoking 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.
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.
Grade-by-grade ROI & risk-adjusted outcomesNet vs raw per target grade, plus the probability-weighted distribution
| Target grade | Est. value | Grading fee | Net vs raw | Multiple |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PSA 9 | $26.00 | $70 | −$49 | 5.3× |
| PSA 8 | $18.99 | $70 | −$56 | 3.9× |
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
Only 1% of 4,254 PSA-graded Nidoking copies are a gem-mint 10 (33 of 4,254) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC & BGS — a lower gem rate means a Nidoking 10 is harder to pull.
