Where the Scyther money is
Value is not spread evenly across the printings — the ranking below is by total tracked value, not by card count, the same measure as the most valuable Pokémon cards.
The top 5 of 33 Scyther cards hold 81% of the $1,076 total. The remaining 28 share what is left, which is why a “complete Scyther collection” in the collection tracker costs far less than the headline suggests until you reach the top row.

- Ruby & Sapphire · 1 card$165
- Gym Heroes · 1 card$123
- Jungle · 2 cards$63

one card, near-zero raw
This is the median, not the average. Averaging the ratios gives 76.7×, which only 11 of 29 cards (38%) actually reach: a card worth a few cents raw with a three-figure slab produces a ratio in the hundreds and drags the mean above almost the whole set. The median is what a card in the middle really does, and it is the figure to take to the grading ROI calculator.

Indexed over 21 of this set's 33 cards — the ones with enough PriceCharting sales history to track continuously.
90 days and 1 year are withheld: the weighted index and the basket total disagree over those windows, which means the index was re-based rather than the cards re-priced. A number we cannot stand behind is worse than no number.
Strongest Scyther grading opportunities
Ranked by expected net — every grade weighted by how often this card actually earns it (the gem rate beside each card is its PSA 10 share). Best case is the PSA 10 outcome, which is why it is the larger number and the one to trust least.

Collecting Scyther cards
Scyther has been printed in every era of the game, from 1999 (Wizards Black Star Promos) to 2024 (Paldean Fates). The Vintage (1999–2003) era holds the most printings, 10 of the 33. The value sits elsewhere: the Classic (2004–2010) era's 8 cards are worth $523, 49% of the total, against $508 for the Vintage (1999–2003) printings.
Most Scyther cards are cheap to own: 17 of the 33 priced cards sit under $5 raw, the cheapest being the Scyther, and the median card is worth about $4.71. 4 are worth $50 or more. A set-by-set Scyther collection is a small-dollar exercise until the last handful, which is where 76% of the total on this page comes from.
By rarity the printings split into 9 tiers, led by Uncommon (11), Common (10) and Rare Holo (3). 29 of the 33 cards carry a PSA 10 price, the figure the grading section uses; those cards are worth about $6.87 raw at the median, against $0.43 for the 4 with no gem-mint price on file.
The grid filters by set and rarity and sorts by value, era, the PSA 10 gap or the 30-day move, so the cheapest Scyther is one sort away (add the rarity filter for the cheapest holo); the by-set index above lists every card as text for when you know the number. Prices are CardTrack's blended raw value from real sold results, updated today.
