The odds

Magcargo is a Holo / V / ex in Skyridge — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 33% of the time, split across 32 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 97 packs.

Holo / V / ex33%32 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)16.6%99 of 598
PSA 938.8%232 of 598
PSA graded so far598
Gem Mint 1099
Total graded598

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 598 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1016.6%$1,837.00
PSA 938.8%$398.00
PSA ≤844.6%$189.00

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 — every grade, with gem rates

Only 17% of 598 PSA-graded Magcargo copies are a gem-mint 10 (99 of 598) — the rest grade lower.
