Answers about Scyther #130/127 from Platinum Base — live market value, pull rates, PSA grading returns and tournament legality.

Scyther #130/127 is a Secret Rare, one of the higher rarity tiers in Platinum Base.

At $31.93 raw, you need a PSA 10 to profit. A PSA 10 sells for $4,173.10, giving a net return of +$3,570.67 after grading costs and selling fees. PSA 9 returns +$99.77 and PSA 8 returns −$0.52, so a PSA 9 or 10 can profit, while anything below that loses money on this card.

PSA have graded 292 copies of Scyther #130/127, of which 16 came back as PSA 10. That is a gem rate of 5.5%, or roughly 1 in 18 graded copies.
