What makes Skarmory valuable
- Rare is a common-to-mid rarity, so value depends more on condition, variant and playability than on scarcity alone.
- Kimiya Masago illustrated this card, which adds appeal for artist-focused collectors.
- A $65.63 card with thin supply status keeps buyer competition steady.
- As a Metal-type Pokémon card, Skarmory is sought by players and collectors alike.
- Skarmory dates to 2002, and vintage-era supply cannot increase, which underpins long-term collector value.
Buying & selling Skarmory
- Expedition Base Set was released in 2002; sealed product from this era is limited, so raw singles appreciate with collector demand.
- Centring and surface condition matter most on Rare cards; a clean copy of Skarmory can realise well above the $144.00 low end.
- Because it is a Pokémon card, Skarmory has both collector and player demand — a broader buyer pool than purely collectible cards.
- Track the Cardmarket 7- and 30-day averages (when available) to time entries and exits.
- If you are buying to resell, model marketplace fees first — the $65.63 value is pre-fee, and the seller-fee calculator shows the net take-home per platform.
