What Is Salamence Worth?
Salamence (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from XY - Roaring Skies, card number 57/108. 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 (XY - Roaring Skies, 57/108) is worth around $1.26 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.26, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.76. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.26, Lightly Played $0.90, Moderately Played $0.82, Heavily Played $0.76, Damaged $0.76 — 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 $149.99 — about 119x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $16.00.
Is It Worth Grading Salamence?
Grading Salamence can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.26) and a PSA 10 ($149.99) is about $148.73 — a 119x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $16.00, PSA 8 $11.00. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
