# Numel #57/106 — Emerald

## Summary

Numel is a Hoenn Basic and a bulk common, the sort of pull that fills out an Emerald binder page without anyone chasing it. Its small following comes from Hoenn nostalgia and Midori Harada's name on the credit line, so demand stays modest, steady, and mostly completist. At a $1.29 modelled guide, up 6% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, with 403 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.08 out of Mega Evolution; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
