Should you grade it?
Raw $1.14 → graded PSA 9 ≈ $24.75, after ~$70.24 grading fee → 21.7× the raw value.
The odds
Ampharos is a Holo / V / ex in Steam Siege — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 27.9% of the time, split across 15 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 54 packs.
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
| Target grade | Est. value | Grading fee | Net vs raw | Multiple |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PSA 9 | $24.75 | $70 | −$47 | 21.7× |
| PSA 8 | $17.86 | $70 | −$53 | 15.7× |
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 — every grade, with gem rates
Only 13% of 175 PSA-graded Ampharos copies are a gem-mint 10 (23 of 175) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC & BGS — a lower gem rate means a Ampharos 10 is harder to pull.

Card textAttacks, abilities, weakness / resistance / retreat
Evolves from Flaaffy.
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may put 3 damage counters on 1 of your opponent's Pokémon-EX.
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 40 more damage. If tails, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed.
“The tail's tip shines brightly and can be seen from far away. It acts as a beacon for lost people.”
