# Ho-Oh (Japanese) #091 — Split Earth

## Summary

Ho-Oh carries the Johto legend itself, the rainbow bird whose rebirth story made it the face of Gold and the games' sacred-tower lore, and that standing explains why fans keep reaching for it. This Japanese Split Earth holo came out in August 2002, ahead of the English Skyridge set that carries the same card, and its swept-wing flight in fiery red and gold sits against a dusky sky. As a chase-tier Super Rare, it is the slot people open packs hoping to find. The sold median sits at $1,345 with 2 copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $18,000 and a 37% observed gem rate putting about $5,200 of expected profit per submission.
