# Blaine #100/132 — Gym Challenge

## Summary

Blaine is the Cinnabar Island Gym Leader, a fan-favorite from Kanto's Fire-type specialist circle, and Ken Sugimori's name as the original Pokémon artist adds weight to any Trainer he drew. A mid-tier Rare in Gym Challenge, it pairs with the Blaine's-named Pokémon and draws Gym-set completists. The modelled guide sits at $3.93, down 2% over 30 days on 12 copies traded, with 105 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
