Estimated value · Pack fresh
$66.65
Based on 27 sold sales

Estimated. This card has enough sales to price the top 15% but not the top 5%, so pack-fresh is projected from the gap we measure between those two tiers on cards that do — about 1.4x on vintage, 1.2x on modern. $66.65. That's about +85% over a typical Near Mint copy.

How do we work this out?

We take every real sale of this exact card over the last 12 months (27 sales), sort them by price, and read off the top 15% and top 5%. No multipliers, no guesses — the prices cleaner copies actually fetched.

Why cleaner copies cost more: buyers can see condition in the photos and pay for it. Listings sellers describe as pack fresh or gem mint land in this top band 1.7× more often than ordinary ones — the premium follows the card, not the hype.

Copies in this band are also the ones collectors send to grading: far more likely than a typical binder copy to be submitted at all — and to come back with the strong grade that carries the PSA prices shown on this page. That prospect is part of what buyers are paying for here.

These are read straight off this card's own completed sales — sort them by price and take the top 15% and top 5%. Whether your copy qualifies is a judgment made by looking at the card.

Is Pikachu & Zekrom-GX worth grading?

+$189

Raw $36.06 → graded PSA 10$298.00, after ~$72.97 grading fee → 8.3× the raw value.

The odds

Pikachu & Zekrom-GX 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)38.9%6,295 of 16,190
PSA 941.8%6,773 of 16,190
PSA graded so far16,190
Gem Mint 106,295
Total graded16,190

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.

Grade-by-grade ROI & risk-adjusted outcomesNet vs raw per target grade, plus the probability-weighted distribution

PSA 9$60.00$71$471.7×

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 & TAG — every grade, with gem rates

Only 39% of 16,190 PSA-graded Pikachu & Zekrom-GX copies are a gem-mint 10 (6,295 of 16,190) — the rest grade lower.
