# Entei #15/98 — Ancient Origins

## Summary

Entei carries a devoted following as the Fire member of the Johto beast trio, a Gen II favorite that Fire-type collectors keep close. Mitsuhiro Arita, who illustrated the original Base Set Charizard, is a name that draws attention, though as a regular Rare this was a mid-tier pull. At a $12 modelled guide, down 5% over 30 days on 93 copies traded, with 220 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.21 out of Ascended Heroes; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
