# Vulpix #99/130 — Base Set 2

## Summary

Vulpix is a Gen I Fire Type with a devoted following, and a Ken Sugimori credit means the original Pokémon designer drew it himself, which sets it apart from most commons of the era. Inside a reprint set it was filler, so demand is nostalgia and Sugimori completism. At a $1.30 modelled guide, with 66 copies traded in 30 days, with the tape reading as a floor forming near the lows, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.08 out of Chaos Rising; a PSA 10 brings $104, 80 times raw, but a 29% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
