Should you grade it?

The odds

Dark Slowbro is a Holo / V / ex in Team Rocket — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 33% of the time, split across 17 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 52 packs.

Holo / V / ex33%17 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)1.3%42 of 3,254
PSA 917.7%575 of 3,254
PSA graded so far3,254
Gem Mint 1042
Total graded3,254

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 3,254 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 101.3%$1,524.00
PSA 917.7%$169.00
PSA ≤881%$52.00

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 1% of 3,254 PSA-graded Dark Slowbro copies are a gem-mint 10 (42 of 3,254) — the rest grade lower.
