Should you grade it?
Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 23% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case +$321); most land at PSA 9 or below.
The odds
Alakazam is a Rare in Expedition Base Set — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 67% of the time, split across 40 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 60 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 10 | $412.50 | $74 | +$321 | 24.4× |
| PSA 9 | $70.50 | $71 | −$17 | 4.2× |
| PSA 8.5 | $25.00 | $70 | −$62 | 1.5× |
⚖️ Risk-adjusted return
Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 760 PSA-graded copies:
| Likely outcome | Chance | Value |
|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | 23% | $413.00 |
| PSA 9 | 29.7% | $71.00 |
| PSA ≤8 | 47.2% | $17.00 |
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 23% of 760 PSA-graded Alakazam copies are a gem-mint 10 (175 of 760) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC & BGS — a lower gem rate means a Alakazam 10 is harder to pull.

Card textAttacks, abilities, weakness / resistance / retreat
Evolves from Kadabra.
Once during your turn, instead of Alakazam's normal attack, you may choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon's attacks. Alakazam copies that attack including its Energy costs and anything else required in order to use that attack, such as discarding Energy cards. (No matter what type that Pokémon is, Alakazam's type is still Psychic.) This power can't be used if Alakazam is affected by a Special Condition.
If Alakazam and the Defending Pokémon don't have the same number of Energy cards attached to them, this attack's base damage is 20 instead of 80.
