⚖️ Risk-adjusted return

Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 66 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1037.9%$66.00
PSA 919.7%$23.00
PSA ≤842.4%$5.00

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 38% of 66 CGC-graded Mystery Plate α copies are a gem-mint 10 (25 of 66) — the rest grade lower.
