# Torchic #89/106 — Great Encounters

## Summary

Torchic is a bulk common from an unremarkable Diamond & Pearl-era set, the sort of pull that fills out a binder page without anyone chasing it. Hoenn's fire chick keeps a devoted following as a starter, which is where nearly all its collector interest comes from. At a $2.19 modelled guide, with 5 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.16 out of Journey Together; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
