The odds

Grimer 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)22.5%147 of 653
PSA 937.5%245 of 653
PSA graded so far653
Gem Mint 10147
Total graded653

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 653 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1022.5%$83.00
PSA 937.5%$25.00
PSA ≤840%$2.00

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.

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

For context: a graded PSA 5 slab of this card sells for about $13 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
