Should you grade it?

$53

Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 5.6% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case $17); most land at PSA 9 or below.

The odds

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)5.6%6 of 108
PSA 937%40 of 108
PSA graded so far108
Gem Mint 106
Total graded108

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 108 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 105.6%$79.00
PSA 937%$67.00
PSA ≤857.4%$26.00

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 6% of 108 PSA-graded Zekrom-GX copies are a gem-mint 10 (6 of 108) — the rest grade lower.
