# Swinub #165/159 — Journey Together

## Summary

Swinub carries steady Gen II goodwill as the small, snuffling pig who evolves into Mamoswine, a combination that keeps Johto fans loyal. As an Illustration rare in Journey Together, it sits in the set's chase tier, and Nakamura Ippan's name on it adds to the appeal for collectors. At a $2.88 sold median, down 10% over 30 days on 791 copies traded, with only 4 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.05 out of Phantasmal Flames; a PSA 10 brings $71, 25 times raw, but a 28% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
