The odds

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

PSA 10 (gem mint)9.2%94 of 1,021
PSA 931.9%326 of 1,021
PSA graded so far1,021
Gem Mint 1094
Total graded1,021

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 1,021 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 109.2%$3,652.00
PSA 931.9%$400.00
PSA ≤858.9%$270.00

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 9% of 1,021 PSA-graded Absol copies are a gem-mint 10 (94 of 1,021) — the rest grade lower.
