# Groudon #5/106 — Emerald

## Summary

Groudon carries a Hoenn cover legend's fan following, and Emerald brought that region back for collectors. A plain Rare there is a mid-tier pull, worth keeping but never a chase, with Kouki Saitou's name adding modest interest. At a $25 modelled guide, with no copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.19 out of Ascended Heroes; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
