07Why Collectors Want It

  • Jungle (1999) was the second WotC set — its 1st Edition holos are some of the most-recognized vintage Pokemon prints.
  • Scyther is a beloved Bug-type that later evolved into Scizor (Johto) and Kleavor (Hisui), driving demand across generations.
  • PSA 10 1st Edition realizes ~$5,660 — a ~67× lift over raw 1st Ed, among the largest grading multiples in the Scyther catalog.
  • Centering and edge whitening keep PSA 10 supply famously thin across all Jungle holos.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Scyther PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Jungle 1999 holo; 1st Edition stamp is the chase variant. PSA 10 1st Edition realizes ~$5,660 (PriceCharting, May 2026), ~67× raw 1st Ed.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
