# Torchic #77/97 — Dragon

## Summary

Torchic is a Hoenn starter, and the fire chick has carried real affection among Gen III fans since Ruby and Sapphire, so even a common from the Dragon set draws binder-completers. Hironobu Yoshida is a familiar name from the EX era, though this is a bulk pull rather than a chase. The modelled guide sits at $1.79, up 37% over 30 days on 23 copies traded, with 70 days of inventory on the board; a ACE 10 brings $134, 75 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
