# Lapras #24/123 — HeartGold SoulSilver

## Summary

Lapras has been a fan favorite since Red and Blue, partly for its gentle, ferry-boat temperament, and the HeartGold SoulSilver base set revived that Kantō nostalgia. A mid-tier Rare there, it sits a step above bulk, with Suwama Chiaki's name adding a small draw for illustrator collectors. At a $13 modelled guide, with 3 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.22 out of Stellar Crown; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
