    Is Absol ex worth grading?

    Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 30.8% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case +$6); most land at PSA 9 or below.

    The odds

    Absol ex is a Ultra Rare in Obsidian Flames — the pack's hit slot lands on Ultra Rare 10% of the time, split across 24 ultra rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 241 packs.

    Ultra Rare10%24 cards
    PSA 10 (gem mint)30.6%330 of 1,077
    PSA 948.3%520 of 1,077
    PSA graded so far1,077
    Gem Mint 10330
    Total graded1,077

    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 1,061 PSA-graded copies:

    Likely outcomeChanceValue
    PSA 1030.8%$80.00
    PSA 948.2%$24.00
    PSA ≤821%$10.00

    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.

    “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. Confidence reflects source backing and price spread — not PSA-official values.

    For context: a graded PSA 7 slab of this card sells for about $14 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
