The odds

Sandslash is a Rare in Sandstorm — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 67% of the time, split across 13 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 19 packs.

Rare67%13 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)26.1%12 of 46

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.

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.

Population across gradersPSA, CGC & BGS — every grade, with gem rates

Only 26% of 46 PSA-graded Sandslash copies are a gem-mint 10 (12 of 46) — the rest grade lower.
