POP Series 8 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 | 18 | 15% |
| Uncommon | 9 | 21% |
| Rare | 15 | 17% |
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 8 card of each rarity.
POP Series 8 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 4 packs (25.0%) |
| Energy | 1 card per pack (100%) | 1 in 8 packs (12.5%) |
| Uncommon | 1 in 3.0 packs (33.3%) | 1 in 17.9 packs (5.6%) |
| Rare | 1 in 6.1 packs (16.4%) | 1 in 30.3 packs (3.3%) |
"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.
