Each sale above is labelled with what its listing claimed, so you can see which ones describe the same object. Treat the median as the typical copy, not the range.

The odds

Steelix ex is a Holo / V / ex in Unseen Forces — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 33% of the time, split across 31 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 94 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.

⚖️ Risk-adjusted return

Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 575 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 104.3%$2,350.00
PSA 924.3%$825.00
PSA ≤871.3%$173.00

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 4% of 575 PSA-graded Steelix ex copies are a gem-mint 10 (25 of 575) — the rest grade lower.

What NM / LP / MP actually mean — and how much they cost

For context: a graded PSA 1 slab of this card sells for about $140 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
