# Alph Lithograph (Japanese) #071 — L1: HeartGold Collection

## Summary

Japanese players had Alph Lithograph in October 2009, four months before the English HeartGold SoulSilver set carried the same Trainer card in February 2010. That head start made the Japanese HeartGold Collection the first place the Ruins of Alph tablets could be found in print. As a Trainer, it has no artwork or Pokémon portrait to chase, so its appeal comes from the Johto ruins it recalls and the early Japanese Legend-era timing. The sold median sits at $115 with 1 copy traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file, and a PSA 10 would fetch about $930 against $85 in grading fees.
