Best case only — no gem-rate evidence 1

Fewer than 10 graded copies in the PSA and CGC population reports. They clear the grading cost if they gem — that is all the numbers support.

Expected = every grade outcome weighted by its share of the card's graded population, minus the raw price and the grading cost (PSA tier fee for the graded value plus ~$20 round-trip shipping, fees as of 2026-09-26). Best case is the PSA 10 leg alone. Gem rates come from a self-selected population — collectors grade their cleanest copies — so read them as an upper bound. Raw is a blended market price, not a sale of your copy. Full method and filters on the grading index.

PSA population 29

Every Jirachi card with a PSA population reading, ranked five ways. A historical PSA 10 rate is the share of graded copies that came back a 10 — how hard a 10 has been to earn, not the chance your copy earns one — and it is only quoted on cards with at least 20 graded copies; the PSA 10 tables use the same floor. PSA counts as of 16 Oct 2026. How population is measured.

How to read the Jirachi ranking

Every Jirachi card listed here clears one bar: its PSA 10 price beats its raw price by more than the cost of grading it. 20 Jirachi printings pass. 19 of them (95%) have a gem-rate sample of at least ten graded copies in the population reports, and 19 of those keep a positive expected value once every grade outcome is weighted by how often the card actually receives it.

The order is expected profit, not the PSA 10 best case, which rewards the widest raw-to-gem gap whether the card gems one time in two or one in fifty. Here the top row, the Jirachi ex from Crystal Guardians, gems 7.5% of the time across 1,098 graded copies: +$1,594 is what a long run of submissions would average, $14,812 is what one lucky copy returns.

The median gem rate across the sampled Jirachi cards is 7.9%. Roughly one submitted copy in 13 came back PSA 10, and most rows here still cover raw price plus fee at PSA 9, so the PSA 9 price does most of the work. Of the 19 ranked cards, 15 still cover raw price plus fee at PSA 9 and 4 need a 10 to break even. 19 rest on a hundred or more graded copies.

1 card sits below the ranking with a best case only, fewer than ten graded copies. The largest best case among them is the Jirachi ex from 30th Celebration at +$44.

Before you submit a Jirachi card

Grading pays on condition. The four things every grader scores — centering, corners, edges and surface — can be checked at home before paying a fee, and a copy that is visibly off-centre or has a whitened corner will not gem whatever the population says. Those gem rates come from a self-selected population of clean copies, so a random copy does worse.

The cost column assumes a PSA submission at the tier covering the card's PSA 10 value, fees as of 2026-09-26, and raw is CardTrack's blended near-mint price, not a sale of your copy: pay more, or hold a lighter copy, and the break-even moves against you. Test a card with your own numbers in the ROI calculator, see the printings that fail the bar on the Jirachi card list, or see how gem-mint premiums run across the whole catalogue on the PSA premium index.

Jirachi grading questions

Which Jirachi card is the best to grade?
On current numbers the Jirachi ex (Crystal Guardians #94): 7.5% of 1,098 graded copies came back PSA 10, an expected profit of $1,594 per submission after the $1,181 grading cost, against a best case of $14,812 if it gems.
How many Jirachi cards are worth grading?
19 keep a positive expected value after the fee, out of the 19 with a gem-rate sample of at least ten graded copies. The best case is broader: 20 cards on this page have a PSA 10 price that beats the raw price by more than the grading fee. The other 1 is best case only.
What gem rate do Jirachi cards get at PSA?
The median across the 19 sampled Jirachi cards is 7.9%, so about one in 13 of the copies collectors chose to submit came back PSA 10. The strongest rate with a sample of thirty or more is the Jirachi V (Astral Radiance #170) at 57.6% of 825.
Does the Jirachi ranking apply to CGC or Beckett?
Not directly. The cost column is PSA's fee as of 2026-09-26 and the graded columns are PSA slab prices; the gem-rate sample falls back to CGC's population only when PSA has fewer than ten copies. A CGC or Beckett submission has its own fee and resale price.
