The collector's take on Salamence ex
Is Salamence ex worth grading?
So is Salamence ex worth grading? Let's talk it through. A raw copy is $25, a Grade 9 comes in at $51, and a PSA 10 sits at $145, which works out to 5.7 times the raw price. That's a real jump, and it's tempting to send every copy you pull straight off to grading. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit, corners and edges on modern cards show wear more than people expect, and grading fees plus shipping and the wait time all eat into that upside. If you've got a copy that looks sharp under a light with no whitening on the edges, it's worth considering. If it's borderline, keeping it raw and enjoying the card might be the smarter move.
How rare is Salamence ex?
There's no official population report to lean on here, so the honest way to think about Salamence ex is by its place in the set: it's an ex card from Battle Partners, a tier that's built to be chased but not to flood every pack. That structure is exactly why the price spread between raw, Grade 9, and PSA 10 is as wide as it is. Fewer clean, gem mint copies exist than raw copies floating around, and that scarcity at the top is what pushes PSA 10 value up to $145 while the raw market stays grounded at $25.
Where can you pull Salamence ex?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just guessing. We've recorded Salamence ex pulled 63 times across collector-crypt, courtyard, and tilt-rips, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $350. It's shown up in a mix of packs, including the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Tilt Treasure Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Pokemon Ace Pack. That spread tells you it's not locked to one site or one product, so if you're opening packs hoping to land it, it's genuinely out there to be pulled, though as always, opening packs is a gamble and most rips don't beat what you paid in.
Questions people ask

Is Salamence ex worth grading?+
