| 1 |  SunfloraUnseen Forces #16 · Classic (2004–2010)Expected +$77 per submission: 10.8% of 166 graded copies came back PSA 10 ($854), and a PSA 9 ($145) still clears the $106 you have in it. Confidence high on that sample. | $17 | $145 | $854 | $89 | +$749 | 10.8% | +$77 | 166 high |

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 10
Every Sunflora 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 24 Oct 2026. How population is measured.

How to read the Sunflora ranking
Every Sunflora card listed here clears one bar: its PSA 10 price beats its raw price by more than the cost of grading it. 3 Sunflora printings pass. 2 of them (67%) have a gem-rate sample of at least ten graded copies in the population reports, and 2 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 Sunflora from Unseen Forces, gems 10.8% of the time across 166 graded copies: +$77 is what a long run of submissions would average, $749 is what one lucky copy returns.
The median gem rate across the sampled Sunflora cards is 37.7%. Roughly one submitted copy in 3 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 2 ranked cards, 1 still covers raw price plus fee at PSA 9 and 1 needs a 10 to break even. 2 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 Sunflora from HeartGold & SoulSilver at +$125.
Before you submit a Sunflora 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 Sunflora card list, or see how gem-mint premiums run across the whole catalogue on the PSA premium index.
