# Metagross #95/168 — Celestial Storm

## Summary

Metagross has been a Hoenn favorite since Ruby and Sapphire, a Steel-Psychic powerhouse that fans treat as a pseudo-legendary in all but name. Its Steven's Resolve tie-in was a small curiosity, and as a Rare it sat mid-tier in its set, wanted more by Metagross loyalists than by speculators. At a $1.76 modelled guide, with 8 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 $0.12 out of Temporal Forces; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
