POP Series 1 Gem Rate
PSA 10 'gem' rate by rarity — the share of graded copies that earn a perfect 10, based on the current PSA population.
| Rarity | PSA 10 Pop | Gem Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 65 | 31% |
| Uncommon | 25 | 29% |
| Rare | 149 | 18% |
Gem rate = PSA 10 population ÷ (PSA 9 + PSA 10 population). Higher rarities with modern print quality tend to gem at higher rates; older or textured-foil cards gem lower. Figures aggregate every POP Series 1 card of each rarity.
POP Series 1 Pull Rates
Expected pull rates per booster pack for this set.
| Rarity | Pull Rate | Specific Card Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 1.5 cards per pack (100%) | 1 in 3.3 packs (30.3%) |
| Uncommon | 1 in 2.7 packs (37.0%) | 1 in 13.3 packs (7.5%) |
| Rare | 1 in 10 packs (10.0%) | 1 in 70 packs (1.4%) |
"Pull Rate" is the chance of getting at least one card of that rarity per pack; "Specific Card Odds" is the chance of pulling one particular card of that rarity. Figures are statistical estimates from observed pack data.
