Is Rare Candy worth grading?

$65

Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 42.8% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case $56); most land at PSA 9 or below.

The odds

Rare Candy is a Secret / Rainbow in Guardians Rising — the pack's hit slot lands on Secret / Rainbow 2.5% of the time, split across 24 secret / rainbow cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 965 packs.

Secret / Rainbow2.5%24 cards

PSA 932.5%62 of 191

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 194 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1042.8%$38.00
PSA 932%$22.00
PSA ≤825.3%$21.00

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 43% of 191 PSA-graded Rare Candy copies are a gem-mint 10 (83 of 191) — 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.
