# Dugtrio #23/130 — Base Set 2

## Summary

Dugtrio is a Gen I Ground-type many fans remember from the Diglett's Cave detour in Red and Blue, and Keiji Kinebuchi is a name that turns up in the earliest Wizards-era sets. A mid-tier Rare in a reprint-heavy set, it appeals to nostalgia collectors far more than to anyone building a deck. The modelled guide sits at $4.49, flat over 30 days on 42 copies traded, with 552 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $201, 45 times raw, but a 27% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
