Is Steelix worth grading?

The odds

Steelix 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)24.9%160 of 643
PSA 938.7%249 of 643
PSA graded so far643
Gem Mint 10160
Total graded643

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 626 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1025.1%$3,061.00
PSA 939%$690.00
PSA ≤835.9%$420.00

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 & TAG — every grade, with gem rates

Only 25% of 643 PSA-graded Steelix copies are a gem-mint 10 (160 of 643) — the rest grade lower.

“Sold” = median of real recent sold listings at that grade (eBay or Fanatics Collect — hover a badge to see which). “Modelled” = no verified graded sale behind the figure; it is derived from the raw price and reference guides, so treat it as a ceiling to check, not a price to quote. Confidence reflects source backing and price spread — not PSA-official values.

What NM / LP / MP actually mean — and how much they cost

For context: a graded PSA 7 slab of this card sells for about $505 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
