Evolving Skies gem rates & grading ROI
PSA has graded 333,457 copies of 341 different Evolving Skies cards; 198,259 of them earned a PSA 10, a set-wide gem rate of 59.5% (about 1 in 2 submissions) as of PSA's population report on 2026-07-01. The table below covers the 103 Evolving Skies cards with at least 25 graded copies and a recent PSA 10 sale price; 78 of the 86 with liquid PSA 10 markets show a positive expected grading ROI at today's raw price.
Expected value = gem rate × PSA 10 price + (1 − gem rate) × PSA 9 price; ROI subtracts a ~$25 grading fee and the raw price. Gem rates are averages across all submitters — centering and surface on your copy matter. Beta · not investment advice.
