# Bagon #49/97 — Dragon

## Summary

Bagon is the humble first step toward Salamence, and Hoenn dragon fans have long treated that climb as a rite of passage. Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon art director, drew it, and his name lifts a plain common above the bulk pile for completionists. The modelled guide sits at $0.53, up 8% over 30 days on 40 copies traded, with 83 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $76, 143 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
