VerdictWorth grading

The odds

Zekrom-EX is a Ultra Rare in Next Destinies — the pack's hit slot lands on Ultra Rare 10% of the time, split across 6 ultra rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 60 packs.

Ultra Rare10%6 cards

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 168 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 100%$2,257.00
PSA 913.1%$1,275.00
PSA ≤886.9%$282.00

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 0% of 168 CGC-graded Zekrom-EX copies are a gem-mint 10 (0 of 168) — the rest grade lower.
