# Tropius #27/101 — Hidden Legends

## Summary

Tropius is a Hoenn oddity that fans enjoy for its fruit-bearing neck and gentle dinosaur silhouette, and Kouki Saitou is a long-serving illustrator whose work spans the early eras. As a regular Rare in a mid-tier slot, it drew little attention, so demand stays modest and sentimental. At a $3.94 modelled guide, up 7% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, with 209 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.11 out of Pitch Black; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
