The collector's take on Scizor
Is Scizor worth grading?
Here's the honest math on grading Scizor: a raw copy sits at $15, but a PSA 10 is currently worth $393, which works out to 25.9 times the ungraded price. That's a real jump, no doubt about it, but it comes with a catch. Illustration rares like this one often have busy, full-art surfaces that show every whitening and edge wear under a grader's light, so hitting a true gem mint 10 is genuinely tough. A Grade 9 only brings $30, which tells you how steep the drop-off is if you miss perfect by even a hair. Factor in grading fees and turnaround time, and grading only really makes sense if your copy already looks flawless to your eye under good light. If there's any doubt, it might be smarter to enjoy the card raw or sell it as is.
How rare is Scizor?
Out of the Scizor copies that have gone through grading, only 951 exist on record, and just 229 of those earned a PSA 10. That means fewer than a quarter of graded copies made it to the top grade, which lines up with how much value jumps once a card crosses that gem mint threshold. It's not an ultra-scarce card in the way some chase cards are, but that population split explains exactly why a PSA 10 commands such a premium over everything sitting below it.
Where can you pull Scizor?
We've tracked Scizor being pulled 119 times across collector-crypt, packs, courtyard, lastpack, and tilt-rips, so this isn't a card that's impossible to find in a live break. It's shown up in products like the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Catch 'em All - Paldean Fates, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Pokémon Basic Pack. The biggest recorded pull came in at $1,953, which is a nice reminder of how much a lucky rip can swing in your favor. That said, most people who open packs chasing a specific card end up spending more than they get back, so treat any pull as a bonus and not a plan. If you'd rather skip the gamble entirely, buying a known copy on the secondary market is usually the steadier route.
