# Vulpix #81/101 — Hidden Legends

## Summary

Vulpix is a Kantō Fire type with a devoted following, and it's a common from a set better known for its rarer pulls, so it sits in bulk. Ascension, a Basic that fetches its own evolution, was a handy trick in its day, while Toshinao Aoki's name adds a modest note for illustrator completists. At a $2.68 modelled guide, with 8 copies traded in 30 days, with 970 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.11 out of Mega Evolution; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
