Is Random Receiver worth grading?

$12

Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 8.8% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case +$369); most land at PSA 9 or below.

The odds

Random Receiver is a Secret / Rainbow in Plasma Storm — the pack's hit slot lands on Secret / Rainbow 2.5% of the time, split across 3 secret / rainbow cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 121 packs.

Secret / Rainbow2.5%3 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)8.8%16 of 181
PSA 955.2%100 of 181
PSA graded so far181
Gem Mint 1016
Total graded181

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 182 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 108.8%$487.00
PSA 954.9%$85.00
PSA ≤836.3%$44.00

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 & TAG — every grade, with gem rates

Only 9% of 181 PSA-graded Random Receiver copies are a gem-mint 10 (16 of 181) — the rest grade lower.

“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.

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

For context: a graded PSA 5 slab of this card sells for about $30 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
