# Nosepass #17/106 — Emerald

## Summary

Nosepass is a Hoenn Rock type with a modest but affectionate following, partly because its compass-nose gimmick made it memorable among early Gen III favorites. Printed as a plain Rare in Emerald, this was a mid-tier pull, not a chase slot, so demand rests on Kouki Saitou's name and Hoenn nostalgia. At a $1.66 modelled guide, with 5 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.04 out of Perfect Order; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
