# Houndoom #H11 — Aquapolis

## Summary

Houndoom is a Johto-era Dark/Fire favorite, and its menacing Halloween-adjacent look keeps fans loyal. Hajime Kusajima is a longtime Pokémon TCG illustrator, and as an Aquapolis holo from the final WOTC-era sets, it sits in the sought-after pool of scarce e-Reader-era holos. At a $1,572 modelled guide, with 22 copies traded in 30 days, with 61 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.13 out of Shrouded Fable; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $84,000 and a 4% observed gem rate putting about $2,500 of expected profit per submission.
