Best case only — no gem-rate evidence 2

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.

Destined Rivals cards that clear the grading cost at PSA 10 but have no measurable gem rate
#	Card	Raw	PSA 9	PSA 10	Cost	Best case	Gem rate	Expected	Sample
23	Team Rocket's Moltres exDestined Rivals #229 · Current (2020–)	$90	—	$300	$73	+$137	—	—	none <10
24	Team Rocket's Mewtwo exDestined Rivals #240 · Current (2020–)	$67	—	$187	$72	+$48	—	—	none <10

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 2026-08-26). 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.
