# Sceptile ex δ #96/100 — Crystal Guardians

## Summary

Sceptile ex δ is a Delta Species Stage 2 from the EX era, and Hoenn's starter line keeps a deep fan base, with Sceptile long a favorite among Grass-starter loyalists. Its Poké-Body leaned on the format's ex-heavy lists, which is why players remember it beyond the Rare slot. The modelled guide sits at $254, up 2% over 30 days on 11 copies traded, with only 15 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $26,079 and a 5% observed gem rate putting about $760 of expected profit per submission, and the slabbed population is growing 2% a month, faster than 89% of tracked cards.
