The odds
Blacksmith is a Ultra Rare in Flashfire — the pack's hit slot lands on Ultra Rare 10% of the time, split across 8 ultra rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 80 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 | $571.00 | $86 | +$463 | 25.5× |
| PSA 9 | $40.00 | $70 | −$53 | 1.8× |
| PSA 8 | $30.00 | $70 | −$63 | 1.3× |
⚖️ Risk-adjusted return
Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 285 PSA-graded copies:
| Likely outcome | Chance | Value |
|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | 4.2% | $571.00 |
| PSA 9 | 13.7% | $40.00 |
| PSA ≤8 | 82.1% | $22.00 |
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 4% of 285 CGC-graded Blacksmith copies are a gem-mint 10 (12 of 285) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC & BGS — a lower gem rate means a Blacksmith 10 is harder to pull.
