The odds
Professor's Research (Professor Magnolia) is a Holo / V / ex in Sword & Shield — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 27.9% of the time, split across 38 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 136 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 10 | $25.00 | $70 | −$46 | 89.3× |
| PSA 9 | $9.69 | $70 | −$61 | 34.6× |
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.
