+

In TickerMint's daily data (since February 2024), the TCGplayer market price for Salamence ex [Holofoil] (all conditions) peaked at $286.64 (2026-10-25) and bottomed at $58.98 (2024-11-29).

Is Salamence ex #96/108 worth grading?

+

Grading Salamence ex #96/108 does not pay even for a 10: PSA 10 copies are listed from $299.99 on eBay (eBay asks checked Oct 28, 2026) vs $286.64 raw (TCGplayer market), and after a $25 grading fee, $10 shipping and 13% selling fees a 10 nets $225.99, less than the $249.38 a raw sale nets. That assumes a 9 or lower sells like a raw copy. "Listed from" is the lowest current PSA 10 asking price on eBay, not a sale, and asks can sit above what copies actually sell for. Whether your copy grades a 10 depends on its centering, corners, edges and surface.
