# Shuckle (Japanese) #014 — Split Earth

## Summary

Shuckle curls its red, white-spotted shell against a sunny coastal backdrop, palm trees and pale houses behind it, an orange head and limbs tucked into the green card border. Released in Japan in August 2002 as a common in Split Earth, this Japanese e-series Shuckle reached collectors well ahead of its English counterpart in Skyridge, which followed in May 2003. As bulk it asks little, though the early date and the Johto oddball's cult charm give it a place in a Japanese binder. The modelled guide sits at $20 with no copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $350 and a 63% observed gem rate putting about $52 of expected profit per submission.
