# Squirtle #83/112 — FireRed & LeafGreen

## Summary

Squirtle is a bulk common in a set built around Kanto remakes, so nobody pulled it hoping for anything but a starter. Its pull is the starter's own: Gen I fans remember carrying one out of Pallet Town, and Mitsuhiro Arita is a name collectors seek out for his Pokémon work. At a $50 modelled guide, up 44% over 30 days on 23 copies traded, with 45 days of inventory on the board, 60% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $20 out of MEP Black Star Promos; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
