The collector's take on Salamence EX
Is Salamence EX worth grading?
So is Salamence EX worth grading? Here is the honest math: a raw copy runs $60, and a PSA 10 sits at $81, which works out to about 1.4 times the raw price. That is a real bump, but it is not a windfall once you factor in grading fees, shipping, and the time your card sits at the grading company. Interestingly, this is a card where a Grade 9 copy has actually been fetching $357, well above what the PSA 10 commands, which is a good reminder that grading outcomes and market demand do not always line up the way you would expect. Gem mint 10s are genuinely hard to land, so before you submit, weigh the cost of grading against what you would actually pocket, and go in with your eyes open rather than assuming a perfect score is a sure profit.
How rare is Salamence EX?
Across all grading companies, only 1,533 copies of Salamence EX have been graded, and of those, just 99 have earned a PSA 10. That is a small slice, somewhere around six or seven out of every hundred graded copies reaching gem mint. Numbers like that explain why the PSA 10 price sits where it does relative to raw copies: true gem mint Salamence EX cards are simply uncommon, even among the pool of people who bothered to send theirs in for grading.
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 have recorded Salamence EX pulled 21 times across collector-crypt and courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $350. It has turned up in packs like the Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Pro Pack, The Amazing Chase Encore, Legendary Pokemon Gacha Pack, and Anime Pop Culture Gacha. If you are hoping to pull one yourself, those are the pack types where it has actually shown up, though it is worth remembering that opening packs is a gamble and most rips do not beat what you paid, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.

Is Salamence EX worth grading?+
It can be, but go in with realistic expectations. The jump from a $60 raw card to an $81 PSA 10 is about 1.4 times the raw value, and with only 99 PSA 10s out of 1,533 graded copies, gem mint is not a given, so factor in grading costs before you decide.
