# Kabutops (Japanese) #058 — Split Earth

## Summary

Japan got Kabutops in the e-Card era through Split Earth, a Japanese set released in August 2002, and the card sits in the holo rare slot of that run. The e-Card layout gives it an amber-gold frame, with the fossil Pokémon rendered in dark browns and rocky greys behind a glittering holo pattern. A Pokémon Body ability and a coin-flip attack made it a curious Stage 2, and a middle-tier pull like this tends to be what Japanese-edition collectors hunt for. The modelled guide sits at $130 with 2 copies traded in 30 days, with only 30 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $899 and a 55% observed gem rate putting about $260 of expected profit per submission.
