# Arcanine #2/147 — Aquapolis

## Summary

Arcanine has been a Gen I favorite since Red and Blue, and Umemoto's name on a late-WOTC Aquapolis card appeals to artist-minded collectors. The Fire Blow gamble and Extreme Speed gave it casual appeal, but as a standard Rare it was a mid-tier pull, never the set's chase. The modelled guide sits at $145, up 1% over 30 days on 7 copies traded, with only 30 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $188, 1.3 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
