Should you grade it?

Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 2.9% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case $9); most land at PSA 9 or below.

The odds

Slowbro is a Uncommoncard — a guaranteed slot in every pack, not a rarity gamble, so there's no pull-odds figure for it.

PSA 10 (gem mint)20%1 of 5
PSA 940%2 of 5
PSA graded so far5
Gem Mint 101
Total graded5

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 34 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 102.9%$66.00
PSA 938.2%$24.00
PSA ≤858.8%$4.00

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
