What Is Sceptile Worth?
Sceptile (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the Ruby and Sapphire set, card number 20/109. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it carries real mid-range value and is worth keeping protected in a sleeve and top-loader.
Sceptile Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Sceptile (Ruby and Sapphire, 20/109) is worth around $28.86 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $28.86, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $3.70. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $28.86, Lightly Played $15.85, Moderately Played $10.14, Heavily Played $5.42, Damaged $3.70 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else.

Is It Worth Grading Sceptile?

Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $84.58, CGC 10 $89.00, CGC 9.5 $130.00. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
