Should you grade it?

Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 43.3% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case $25); most land at PSA 9 or below.

The odds

Lairon is a Uncommoncard — a guaranteed slot in every pack, not a rarity gamble, so there's no pull-odds figure for it.

PSA 10 (gem mint)43.3%13 of 30
PSA 936.7%11 of 30
PSA graded so far30
Gem Mint 1013
Total graded30

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 30 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1043.3%$48.00
PSA 936.7%$30.00
PSA ≤820%$3.00

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.
