No honest pairing for Ninetales: nothing we hold shares a set run, an evolution line, a grade ladder or a player with it inside $66-$825. Better to buy it on its own than to bolt on an unrelated slab.
Buy it outright. Ninetales is $330 on the marketplace. Its best pack route is the Emerald Pack at $500, where it sits in the $250-$350 band — that band hits 50.00% of the time and we count 30 cards in it, so this one slab is at most a 1.667% pull. That works out to 60 packs, or about $30,000, to land this specific card — and that is the optimistic end, because the real pool is larger than the 30 cards we can see. Packs are the wrong tool for a named card.
| Tier | Ticket | Band | Band odds | Expected spend for this card |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze Pack | $25 | the $200-$500 band | 0.38% | $197,368+ |
| Silver Pack | $50 | the $200-$400 band | 0.50% | $300,000+ |
| Gold Pack | $100 | the $300-$600 band | 5.00% | $60,000+ |
| Emerald Pack | $500 | the $250-$350 band | 50.00% | $30,000+ |
Per-card chance = band probability / cards counted in that band's pool. Our pool data is a sample, so the per-card chance is an upper bound and the expected spend is a lower bound.
