# Clefable #5/130 — Base Set 2

## Summary

Clefable sits in the Rare tier of a set that mostly recycled Base Set staples, so it was a mid-tier pull rather than a chase, though Metronome made it a popular casual deck-builder's toy. Arita's name and Clefairy's lasting fan affection keep the demand steady. At a $30 modelled guide, down 18% over 30 days on 84 copies traded, with 179 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.12 out of Twilight Masquerade; PSA has slabbed 3,286 of these and only 19 are 10s, a 0.6% gem rate that makes the raw-to-gem gap the entire trade.
