About this card’s market
Asking prices run from $4.00 to $83.70. A spread that wide says more about individual listings than about the card — the market price above is what copies actually sold for.
In Europe the card has been climbing: the 24-hour average is 59% above the 30-day one.
It sits 90th of 106 priced cards in Ruby & Sapphire, in the cheaper half of the set.
It is a Uncommon card, printed in 2003, illustrated by Ken Sugimori.
It has been out of tournament play for two decades — what is left is collector demand.
