# Arcanine (Japanese) #016 — Mysterious Mountains

## Summary

Arcanine looms on a misty cliff in this Japanese e-Card, snarling off to one side with its cream mane and tiger stripes set against an orange-red frame, a pale stone tower fading into grey behind it. Mysterious Mountains reached Japan in October 2002, and Arcanine sits in a standard Rare slot, a mid-tier pull rather than a chase. Its draw is the Pokémon itself, a Kanto favourite whose loyal, fiery look has kept fans attached since the first games. The sold median sits at $139 with no copies traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file, and a PSA 10 would fetch about $570 against $85 in grading fees.
