# Ralts #52/98 — Ancient Origins

## Summary

Ralts is a bulk common, one of those pulls that fills the end of a binder page without anyone chasing it. Its real draw is Hoenn fandom: Ralts is the first step toward Gardevoir and Gallade, so Aya Kusube's printing always finds a few devoted Gardevoir collectors. The modelled guide sits at $0.37, up 9% over 30 days on 61 copies traded, with 186 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $30, 81 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
