# Rhydon #46/101 — Hidden Legends

## Summary

Rhydon carries real sentimental weight as the first Pokémon ever designed, and Atsuko Nishida, one of the franchise's earliest and best-known illustrators, gives it extra collector appeal. As a Hidden Legends uncommon it was a mid-tier pull that players mostly overlooked, so demand stays modest and nostalgic. At a $1.75 modelled guide, up 1% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, with 313 days of inventory on the board, 89% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.19 out of Stellar Crown; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
