# Vileplume #31/165 — Expedition Base Set

## Summary

Vileplume is a Gen I Grass Stage 2 with a steady fan following, and this Expedition holo is its e-reader-era showing under Miki Tanaka. Holo Rares were the set's real chases, but this one's Poison Pollen and Petal Dance never made it a serious tournament threat. At an $80 modelled guide, down 2% over 30 days on 10 copies traded, with only 40 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.15 out of Phantasmal Flames; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
