# Sceptile #11/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Sceptile is the Hoenn starter many fans rank at the top of the trio, and a holo Stage 2 from the very first Ruby & Sapphire set carries real nostalgia for anyone who opened those packs. As a mid-tier holo pull, it sits just under the set's chase slots, which keeps demand steady and uncrowded. The modelled guide sits at $99 with 14 copies traded in 30 days; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
