Salamence EX #103 value & price

Tap to open
Salamence EX #103 comes from the Deoxys set, one of those classic early releases that still gets collectors talking whenever a dragon-type EX shows up in a binder. Part of what makes this card fun to track is the gap between what a played copy sells for and what a pristine one can bring in, and that gap is exactly why people keep searching Salamence EX value long after the set itself went out of print. If you are trying to figure out what your copy is actually worth, you are in the right spot.

The collector's take on Salamence EX
Is Salamence EX worth grading?
Here is the honest answer on whether Salamence EX is worth grading: the raw price sits at $100, a Grade 9 brings $175, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $10,685, which works out to about 107.3x the raw card. That is a massive spread, and it is tempting to send every copy you own straight to a grading company. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on a card like this, and grading fees, shipping, and the wait time all add up whether your card comes back a 10 or a 7. If you already suspect your copy has a soft corner or a print line, it is probably smarter to sell or keep it raw rather than gamble on the grade.
How rare is Salamence EX?
Only 779 copies of this card have been graded in total, and of those, just 51 have come back a PSA 10. When you put those two numbers side by side, it is clear why gem mint copies command such a premium over the raw price. A population that small means most collectors who want a top grade example are competing for a genuinely limited pool of cards, and that scarcity is a big part of what keeps the PSA 10 price so far above everything else on the chart.
Where can you pull Salamence EX?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pack pulls across sites rather than relying on price guides alone. We have recorded Salamence EX pulled 44 times across tilt-rips, courtyard, and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $135. It has shown up in the Pokemon Premium Pack, Pokemon Expert Pack, Tilt Treasure Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Pokemon Ace Pack, so if you are chasing this one specifically, those are the packs worth watching. Just remember that pack opening is a gamble by nature, and most rips do not come close to covering their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Salamence EX worth?+
A raw, ungraded Salamence EX #103 from Deoxys is currently valued at $100. That number climbs fast with grade, so the condition of your specific copy matters a lot when figuring out its real price.
Is Salamence EX worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for $10,685 compared to $100 raw, which is about 107.3x more. But only 51 out of 779 graded copies have reached that top grade, so grading is a real bet, not a sure thing, and the fees are worth weighing before you send it in.
How much is a PSA 10 Salamence EX worth?+
A PSA 10 Salamence EX is valued at $10,685, making it dramatically more valuable than the raw card or even a Grade 9, which sits at $175. That jump reflects just how few copies grade out gem mint, with only 51 PSA 10s recorded out of 779 total graded.
