Also for the record, your starter cannot hide less than six traits.
So the best-case odds are 1-in-128 and, as Charles said, the worst-case odds are 1-in-512, of pairing a starter with a 9-trait non-starter and getting a 9-trait box.
According to Saga's charts, there are presently 4 Shades which your Genesis Collection starter can hide. All things being equal, this puts the odds of your a non-special-collection starter hiding:
9 traits: 3-in-16
8 traits: 7-in-16
7 traits: 5-in-16
6 traits: 1-in-16
5 to 0 traits: 0
Note that the odds of more traits are somewhat better for special collection starters which may carry a shade.
