# Vileplume #3/149 — Boundaries Crossed

## Summary

Vileplume is a Gen I Grass favorite, and its Allergy Panic ability was a real disruption tool in the Black & White era, quadrupling Weakness for both players. As a plain Rare it was a mid-tier pull, so demand comes from Kanto nostalgics and tinkerers, not chase hunters. At an $18 modelled guide, with no copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.17 out of Phantasmal Flames; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
