The odds

Palafin ex is a Secret / Rainbow in Prismatic Evolutions — the pack's hit slot lands on Secret / Rainbow 2.5% of the time, split across 37 secret / rainbow cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 1,487 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.

⚖️ Risk-adjusted return

Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 3,685 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1039%$178.00
PSA 949.5%$45.00
PSA ≤811.5%$45.00

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.
