Scizor Corocoro Comics Glossy #212 Value
Japanese Promo · Card 212
Scizor's Corocoro Comics Glossy #212 is one of those Japanese promo cards that quietly built a following, a glossy insert that came bundled with a magazine rather than a booster pack, which is part of why collectors get excited when one turns up. If you're trying to pin down Scizor value, the raw card sits at $16, but graded copies tell a very different story, climbing all the way to $885 for a PSA 10. It's a fun one to track because the gap between a beat up copy and a pristine one is enormous for a card that started life as a magazine freebie.

Scizor — collector's take
Is Scizor worth grading?
So is it worth grading? A PSA 10 here runs 55.3 times the raw price, which on paper looks like a great trade, turning a $16 card into an $885 one. But that jump only happens if your copy actually grades gem mint, and Corocoro glossy inserts are notoriously fussy: the glossy coating loves to show scratches and print lines that are hard to spot with the naked eye. A Grade 9 still fetches $195, so there's a real cushion even if you miss perfect, but grading fees, shipping, and the wait all eat into your margin, so send it in because you genuinely believe in the surface and centering, not just because the math looks tempting.
How rare is it?
We don't have hard population numbers to lean on for this one, but everything about how Scizor was distributed points to real scarcity. Corocoro promos were only available through a magazine in Japan, not through packs, so the surviving pool of well kept copies is naturally small compared to a mainstream set card. That kind of limited, one time distribution is exactly why a card that started as a $16 raw pickup can climb into the hundreds once it's graded, scarcity plus condition rarity is doing a lot of the work here.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's tracking earns its keep, because Scizor isn't the kind of card most people stumble into. We've recorded it pulled 6 times across collector-crypt, appearing in the Grail Pokémon Gacha Pack and the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $850. That tells you two things: it does show up in higher end gacha style packs from time to time, but with only a handful of recorded pulls, most collectors who want one end up buying it outright on the secondary market rather than chasing it through packs. And worth saying plainly, opening packs for a card like this is a gamble, most rips don't pay off, so go in with your eyes open.
Questions people ask
How much is Scizor worth?
A raw, ungraded Scizor Corocoro Comics Glossy #212 is valued at $16. Graded copies are worth considerably more, with a Grade 9 sitting at $195 and a PSA 10 reaching $885.
Is Scizor worth grading?
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth 55.3 times the raw price. Just know that gem mint glossy promos are tough to land, and even a Grade 9 still brings in a solid $195, so weigh the grading cost against your card's actual condition before sending it in.
What set is Scizor from?
This Scizor comes from the Japanese Promo set, specifically the Corocoro Comics Glossy #212 issue, a magazine insert card rather than a standard booster pull.
