Scyther ex: Rarity & Collectibility
Scyther ex in its sought-after Holofoil variant is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #102/109 of the Ruby and Sapphire set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Scyther ex?
In 2026, a Near Mint Scyther ex (Ultra Rare, Ruby and Sapphire #102/109) changes hands at roughly $98.89, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $98.89, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $18.68. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $98.89, Lightly Played $67.00, Moderately Played $43.86, Heavily Played $28.71, Damaged $18.68 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Scyther ex is valued near $1,575 — about 16x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Scyther ex: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Scyther ex, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Scyther ex sits around $1,575 — roughly 16x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $260.00, CGC 10 $280.00, CGC 9.5 $247.50 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
