Should you grade it?

$56

Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 25% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case $34); most land at PSA 9 or below.

The odds

Spinarak 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)25%9 of 36
PSA 950%18 of 36
PSA graded so far36
Gem Mint 109
Total graded36

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 36 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1025%$40.00
PSA 950%$15.00
PSA ≤825%$3.00

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 25% of 36 PSA-graded Spinarak copies are a gem-mint 10 (9 of 36) — the rest grade lower.
