# Cresselia #2/106 — Great Encounters

## Summary

Cresselia is the Sinnoh moon Pokémon and the gentle counterpart to Darkrai, which keeps fans of that region's lore loyal to it. A holo rare in Great Encounters, it was a mid-tier pull that served shelves and binders far more than tournament tables, with Ryo Ueda as illustrator. At a $28 modelled guide, with 11 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.07 out of Phantasmal Flames; a CGC 10 brings $4,250, 152 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
