Best Pokemon sets to open — highest EV packs

Ranked by expected value per pack if your chase cards grade PSA 10. Combine this with the per-set gem rate on the right for a realistic read — a high EV PSA 10 set with a 20% gem rate is a totally different bet than one with a 60% gem rate.

How to read this ranking

EV PSA 10 is the theoretical ceiling — what a pack is worth when every chase card grades a perfect 10. In practice, only a fraction of pulls gem. A set ranked #1 by EV PSA 10 with a 15% gem rate is riskier than a #3 set with a 55% gem rate. The gain/loss column gives you the boots-on-the-ground truth: on average, what does one pack cost you after selling everything raw.

MasterGrade aggregates pricing and PSA population data daily. Pair this with our AI grader to know — before you ship — whether your pull is worth the submission fee.
