# Dragonair (Japanese) #004 — Dragon Selection

## Summary

Japanese collectors had this Dragonair in January 2012, when Dragon Selection arrived there, about nine months ahead of Dragon Vault, the English set that carries the same card. The slim blue serpent glides across a holofoil field of speckled colour, its white fins flared and head turned in profile. It is a plain holo rare, so the pull is the Dragon-type pedigree, not a chase slot. The modelled guide sits at $15 with no copies traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file, and a ACE 10 would fetch about $65 against $49 in grading fees.
