# Hoppip #112/165 — Expedition Base Set

## Summary

Hoppip is a bulk common from the Expedition Base Set, the sort of pull that fills a binder slot without anyone chasing it. Its draw is the Johto-starter nostalgia around the Cottonweed Pokémon and Toshinao Aoki's long tenure on early Wizards-era sets, which suits completionists far better than players. The modelled guide sits at $1.46 with 69 copies traded in 30 days, and the tape reads as a steady markup with inventory under control; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
