# Vaporeon #25/108 — Dark Explorers

## Summary

Vaporeon is the Eevee evolution many fans name first, and the original three Kanto Eeveelutions keep a steady following of nostalgic collectors. An Uncommon from a Black & White-era set was an ordinary mid-pull, so demand rests on affection and on Akira Komayama's name, not on scarcity. The modelled guide sits at $8.29, up 2% over 30 days on 13 copies traded, with 128 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $4,000, 483 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
