# Vulpix #136/165 — Expedition Base Set

## Summary

Vulpix is a bulk common from the final stretch of the Wizards-era run, the sort of pull that filled out Expedition's Fire slots without turning heads. It earns its modest following from the Gen I fox's lasting fan affection and Yuka Morii's name on a very early e-reader-era card. At a $29 modelled guide, up 5% over 30 days on 28 copies traded, with 70 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.08 out of Chaos Rising; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
