Scyther is one of those Jungle-era cards that just feels right in a binder, that classic Ken Sugimori artwork capturing the bug-type speedster mid-strike, all the way back from 1999. As card #10 in the set, it carries that Rare status without needing a holo foil to turn heads, and if you're trying to pin down Scyther value today, the short version is that a raw copy runs $28 while a pristine PSA 10 climbs all the way to $1,735.

The collector's take on Scyther
Is Scyther worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a PSA 10 Scyther sells for roughly 62.4 times what the raw card is worth, which sounds like an easy decision until you factor in what it actually takes to get there. Gem mint 10s are tough to land on a 1999 Jungle card, corners soften, print lines show up, and centering was never Jungle's strong suit. A Grade 9 still brings in $140, which is a solid outcome and a much more realistic target for most raw copies you'll find, so before you send one off, take a hard look at the corners and surface under good light and ask yourself honestly whether it's a 10 or a very nice 9, because grading fees and the wait aren't refunded if it comes back lower than hoped.
How rare is Scyther?
Jungle was a big-print set in its day, so Scyther isn't the kind of card that's hard to find raw, plenty of copies have survived the last couple decades in shoeboxes and binders. What gets scarce is quality: a quarter century of handling, sun exposure, and rough sleeves means true gem mint survivors are the minority, not the norm. That's really what drives the gap between the $28 raw price and the $1,735 a PSA 10 commands, it's not that the card is rare, it's that a flawless one is.
Where can you pull Scyther?
PackSpy has tracked 73 recorded pulls of this Scyther across sites like collector-crypt, courtyard, packs, tilt-rips, and lastpack, so we've got real data most price guides simply don't. It's shown up in packs like the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Catch 'em All - Paldean Fates, and the Pokémon Starter Pack, and the biggest single pull we've logged came in at $1,259. Worth saying plainly, opening packs chasing a card like this is a gamble and most rips don't come out ahead, but if you're going to roll the dice, those are the pack types where collectors have actually landed one.
Questions people ask
How much is Scyther worth?+
A raw, ungraded Scyther from Jungle sits around $28. Graded copies climb from there, a Grade 9 is worth $140, and a PSA 10 gem mint copy is valued at $1,735.
Is Scyther worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 62.4 times the raw price, but gem mint 10s are genuinely hard to hit on a card this old. If your copy has sharp corners and clean centering it's worth considering, otherwise a Grade 9 at $140 is still a nice, more attainable result.
What set is Scyther from?+
Scyther is card #10 from the Jungle set, released back in 1999. It's a Rare card illustrated by Ken Sugimori, and it's remained a genuinely popular pull from that era ever since.
