The odds
Pokémon Communication is a Secret / Rainbow in Team Up — the pack's hit slot lands on Secret / Rainbow 2.5% of the time, split across 19 secret / rainbow cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 764 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.
Population across graders
Only 53% of 104 PSA-graded Pokémon Communication copies are a gem-mint 10 (55 of 104) — the rest grade lower.
Full grade breakdown (4 grades)
Should you grade it?
Only 52.9% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case +$34); most land at PSA 9 or below.
| Target grade | Est. value | Grading fee | Net vs raw | Multiple |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| PSA 9 | $1.25 | $70 | −$80 | 0.1× |
⚖️ Risk-adjusted return
Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 104 PSA-graded copies:
| Likely outcome | Chance | Value |
|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | 52.9% | $116.00 |
| PSA 9 | 32.7% | $1.00 |
| PSA ≤8 | 14.4% | $11.00 |
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.
