# Larvitar (Japanese) #024 — Base Expansion Pack

## Summary

Japan's e-Card era began with the Japanese Larvitar common, released in December 2001, nine months before English players saw the same card in Expedition Base Set. The art puts a green Larvitar in a dark rocky cave mouth, nestled in sandy yellow ground, framed by orange cliffs on a gold Fighting-type border. As a bulk common it is no chase pull, just a charming early e-Card slot for Japanese-edition collectors. The modelled guide sits at $5.57, up 4% over 30 days on 3 copies traded, with 1,515 days of inventory sitting on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $300 and a 46% observed gem rate putting about $52 of expected profit per submission.
