# Drowzee #73/130 — Base Set 2

## Summary

Drowzee is a bulk common from a set that mostly reshuffled familiar Base Set cards, so nobody chased it; its appeal is the Gen I Psychic roster and completionist binders. Ken Sugimori, who designed the original 151, is the illustrator, giving a humble common some quiet pedigree. At a $0.71 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 41 copies traded, with 385 days of inventory on the board, 83% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.12 out of Shrouded Fable; a PSA 10 brings $105, 148 times raw, but a 24% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
