Is Ampharos worth grading?

$58

Raw $7.75 → graded PSA 9$20.00, after ~$70.19 grading fee → 2.6× the raw value.

The odds

Ampharos is a Rare in HeartGold & SoulSilver — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 67% of the time, split across 21 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 31 packs.

Rare67%21 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)16.7%3 of 18

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.

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 & TAG — every grade, with gem rates

Only 17% of 18 PSA-graded Ampharos copies are a gem-mint 10 (3 of 18) — 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.
