What Is Salamence Worth?
Salamence (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from SWSH07: Evolving Skies, card number 109/203. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is an affordable, easy-to-find card best valued as part of a complete set rather than on its own.
Salamence Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Salamence (SWSH07: Evolving Skies, 109/203) is worth around $0.58 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.58, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.35. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.58, Lightly Played $0.51, Moderately Played $0.42, Heavily Played $0.34, Damaged $0.35 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $37.95 — about 65x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $14.99.
Is It Worth Grading Salamence?
Grading Salamence can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.58) and a PSA 10 ($37.95) is about $37.37 — a 65x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $14.99, CGC 9.5 $25.00, PSA 8 $7.16. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
