The odds

Articuno-EX is a Holo / V / ex in Plasma Storm — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 27.9% of the time, split across 18 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 65 packs.

Holo / V / ex27.9%18 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 464 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 101.3%$1,100.00
PSA 910.8%$100.00
PSA ≤887.9%$20.00

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 464 CGC-graded Articuno-EX copies are a gem-mint 10 (6 of 464) — the rest grade lower.

What NM / LP / MP actually mean — and how much they cost

For context: a graded PSA 1 slab of this card sells for about $80 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
