Should you grade it?

The odds

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

PSA 10 (gem mint)16.5%81 of 490
PSA 947.8%234 of 490
PSA graded so far490
Gem Mint 1081
Total graded490

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 490 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1016.5%$983.00
PSA 947.8%$72.00
PSA ≤835.7%$40.00

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 490 PSA-graded Detective Pikachu copies are a gem-mint 10 (81 of 490) — the rest grade lower.
