# Arcanine #18/108 — Evolutions

## Summary

Arcanine is a Kantō original with a devoted following, and Evolutions is a rare chance to own Ken Sugimori, the man who drew the first Pokémon designs, on a card from a set rebuilding Base Set's feel. As a plain Rare it was a mid-tier pull, so demand is nostalgia-led. At a $0.52 modelled guide, up 30% over 30 days on 48 copies traded, with 60 days of inventory on the board, 79% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.11 out of Destined Rivals; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
