Expected hits per product: 0.32 (counting every tier the pull-rate table enumerates). The Bulk / regular cards row is the rest of a pack — commons, uncommons and plain rares worth about a cent — shown so the odds add up to the whole pack.
What are the odds you profit?
EV is the average; this is the distribution. 20,000 simulated openings of this exact product, using the same sources, odds and prices as everything above.
Same assumptions as the EV: odds are uniform within each tier (real sets short-print their biggest chases, so true odds are usually a touch worse than this), cards sell at today's market price, and selling costs nothing. Read it as a ceiling, not a promise.

Is it worth grading?
PSA US fees, approx · Jul 2026What a PSA 10 sells for vs the raw price plus PSA's fee — the upside if the card grades a 10. The odds of actually getting a 10 are a separate column, still pending.

Net if 10= PSA 10 value − raw − fee, the gain assuming a perfect grade (an upper bound — most cards won't 10). Chance of 10is this card's own PSA population — of every copy graded, the share that came back a 10 — and it drives the graded EV toggle instead of one flat assumption. Read it as a ceiling, not a coin flip: it counts cards people CHOSE to submit, which skews toward good copies, and a card pulled from a pack today may fare worse. A “—” means too few graded copies to quote. PSA 10 prices come from Scrydex and PokemonPriceTracker. Fees exclude shipping and use the cheapest PSA tier for each card's declared (graded) value. PSA paused its cheaper Value tiers in June 2026 under a grading backlog, so Regular ($79.99) is the current floor — grading a card much under ~$100 rarely makes sense.
How many packs for…
No number of packs guarantees it — that is what a -63.9% market ROI pays for.
Mega-era main expansion, 30 packs x 5 cards (Scrydex states the 30-pack count). Site sample: ~1,000 BOX. Per box: SAR ~28%; 3 AR GUARANTEED; SR ~80% plus 1 GUARANTEED Trainer-line SR (1.8 total); MUR ~1-2% (0.015 used); RR 4-5 (stated). RR per box (4-5) is stated by the source. Rates come from ポケゲトちゃんねる (pokemon-infomation.com), which aggregates real box-opening tallies from card shops and individuals — the closest thing Japanese sets have to a primary study, since neither The Pokemon Company nor any English source publishes Japanese odds. Confidence is MEDIUM: the samples are large (hundreds to thousands of boxes) and the methodology is consistent across sets, but the underlying tallies are not independently auditable. Per-pack probabilities are the site's per-BOX figures divided by the box's pack count, which is separately sourced. NOTE ON GUARANTEES: the per-box guarantees (1 SAR/box on High Class, 3 AR/box, 1 ACE/box etc.) are folded into the slot rates above rather than modelled as engine floors — a floor attaches to a PRODUCT, so a single-pack product would inherit the whole box's guarantee and read absurdly positive. The rates are per-box tallies divided by pack count, so a box's EV already reflects every guarantee.
