Which Scarlet & Violet product should you open for it?
Every product in the table above draws from the same Scarlet & Violet pack pool, so the honest answer is whichever costs least per pack — currently the Scarlet & Violet Booster Pack at $9.24. Bear in mind that on our numbers nearly every sealed Pokémon TCG product returns less than it costs when opened: buying the single outright is usually cheaper than chasing it.
Is Penny worth grading?
A PSA 10 copy sells for about $61.18 against a raw price of $5.72 and a PSA fee of roughly $79.99 (Regular) — so a 10 nets about $-24.52. Of the 2,285 copies PSA has graded, 33.7% came back a 10 — and since people submit their cleanest copies, read that as a ceiling for a random pull, not your odds.
