# Tentacool (Japanese) #020 — Mirage Forest

## Summary

Japan had Tentacool in June 2005, more than half a year ahead of the English Legend Maker set that carries the same card in February 2006. This Japanese Mirage Forest common is pure bulk by rarity, yet the picture has charm: the blue jellyfish glares out with big red eyes from a swirl of bubbles and dark, churning water, two smaller Tentacool drifting behind it. The modelled guide sits at $1.99; no PSA population is on file, and a PSA 10 would fetch about $50 against $65 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
