# Electabuzz #24/130 — Base Set 2

## Summary

Electabuzz is a Gen I Electric favorite, and the Base Set era's original artist, Ken Sugimori, is the name collectors most want on a Wizards-era card. A Rare in a reprint set was a solid mid-tier pull, and its Basic status and coin-flip attacks made it a casual-table staple rather than a tournament threat. At a $4.15 modelled guide, down 16% over 30 days on 53 copies traded, with 1,091 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.06 out of Stellar Crown; a PSA 10 brings $91, 22 times raw, but a 26% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
