Each sale above is labelled with what its listing claimed, so you can see which ones describe the same object. Treat the median as the typical copy, not the range.

The odds

Meganium 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)0.8%4 of 530
PSA 95.7%30 of 530
PSA graded so far530
Gem Mint 104
Total graded530

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 530 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 100.8%$2,016.00
PSA 95.7%$806.00
PSA ≤893.6%$47.00

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 1% of 530 PSA-graded Meganium copies are a gem-mint 10 (4 of 530) — the rest grade lower.

For context: a graded PSA 1 slab of this card sells for about $255 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
