# Mr. Mime #27/130 — Base Set 2

## Summary

Mr. Mime's Invisible Wall made it a small-time tech in the WOTC era, since shrugging off any hit of 30 or more could stall a lot of decks. Ken Sugimori drawing it, the artist behind the original designs, gives this printing quiet authority, and as a Rare it sat a tier above bulk. At a $6.20 modelled guide, with 42 copies traded in 30 days, with the tape reading as a decline with nothing absorbing it, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.13 out of Journey Together; a PSA 10 brings $138, 22 times raw, but a 21% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
