Scyther: Rarity & Collectibility
Scyther in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #46/115 of the Unseen Forces 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?
In 2026, a Near Mint Scyther (Uncommon, Unseen Forces #46/115) changes hands at roughly $87.66, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $87.66, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $10.57. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $87.66, Lightly Played $72.50, Moderately Played $40.00, Heavily Played $27.49, Damaged $10.57 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Scyther is valued near $823.00 — about 9.4x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Scyther: Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Scyther sits around $823.00 — roughly 9.4x 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 $83.00, CGC 10 $51.00, CGC 9.5 $91.00 — 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.
