How far apart are the Sceptile prints in price?
This name was printed 27 times across different sets. Some share the very same artwork in a different edition; others carry different art or different attacks under the same name. Set, rarity and version, not the Pokémon, decide the gap between them.
Bar height and the number above each bar = prints that year; the two digits below = the year.

The cards themselves are identical. Same 100 HP, same attacks. What splits the price is not the card but which box it came out of — the rarity mark and the size of the set together decide how hard one was to pull.
Put the rarity marks and the set sizes side by side and the order explains itself: the smaller the set and the scarcer the mark, the dearer the print.

Who illustrated Sceptile 5?
- Cards credited to this artist407
- Shown below12
- Read fromThe printed card face
Atsuko Nishida is credited on 407 cards in this archive. The prints above are the ones that currently carry the highest prices, which is the quickest way to see the kind of card this artist tends to be given.
An illustrator is a way of sorting cards, not a reason for their price. Buying another card by the same hand does not carry the price across — what makes the price is the Pokémon, the rarity and the year, and the numbers for that sit in the ranking section.
Sceptile 5 in depth — what the numbers mean
The figures from the sections above, tied together once more.
What makes the price of Sceptile
- Sceptile — the Pokémon this card is, and the group it is ranked inside
- Rare — POP Series 4, so supply came from how many packs of that set were opened, at the rate this rarity is inserted
- Illustrated by Atsuko Nishida — a sorting axis, not a price driver
- Stage 2 — the class it was printed as, and the group its price is measured against
What holds the price where it is
- Legal in Unlimited only, so it is not bought to fill a tournament deck
- A card that anything can remove in one turn is a card fewer decks carry, and demand is part of what a price is

Both lists are recalculated once a day, after the source archive is refreshed — the readings compared here are August 13, 2026 against August 14, 2026. Cards under $5 are left out of the ranking, because a one-cent move on a card worth a few cents becomes a double-digit percentage and would bury everything else.
