# Ruffian #181/159 — Journey Together

## Summary

Ruffian is a Supporter built for disruption, stripping a Tool and a Special Energy at once, which is why it earned its keep in decks that wanted to punish a slow setup. At Ultra Rare, the full-art treatment is the collector draw, with Ishikawa's name adding a small premium. At a $0.68 modelled guide, down 24% over 30 days on 421 copies traded, with only 12 days of inventory on the board, 69% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.21 out of Journey Together; a CGC 10 brings $30, 44 times raw, but a 55% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
