The odds
Espeon ☆ is a Rare in POP Series 5 — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 100% of the time, split across 6 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 6 packs.
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.
Grade-by-grade ROI & risk-adjusted outcomesNet vs raw per target grade, plus the probability-weighted distribution
| Target grade | Est. value | Grading fee | Net vs raw | Multiple |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | $78,000.00 | $1,400 | +$70,828 | 13.5× |
| PSA 9 | $15,351.00 | $574 | +$9,005 | 2.7× |
| PSA 8 | $13,368.00 | $554 | +$7,042 | 2.3× |
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. Real outcome depends on the grade achieved; PSA 10 is best-case.
