# Caterpie #3/108 — Evolutions

## Summary

Caterpie is a bulk common, the sort of pull that fills a binder slot without anyone chasing it. What gives it a little weight is the illustrator credit: Ken Sugimori drew the original Kantō designs, so Evolutions' Gen I reprints appeal to nostalgic completionists who want the creator's name on the card. At a $0.22 modelled guide, up 10% over 30 days on 62 copies traded, with 260 days of inventory on the board, 41% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.13 out of Journey Together; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
