Raw $0.23 → graded PSA 9$2.00, after ~$70.01 grading fee → 8.7× the raw value.

The odds

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

PSA 10 (gem mint)16.7%2 of 12
PSA 966.7%8 of 12
PSA graded so far12
Gem Mint 102
Total graded12

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.

PSA 9$2.00$70$688.7×

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 17% of 12 PSA-graded Ninetales copies are a gem-mint 10 (2 of 12) — the rest grade lower.
