# Lickitung #38/64 — Jungle

## Summary

Lickitung is a Gen I oddity with a cult following, loved for its absurd tongue and a Pokédex entry that fans quote affectionately. Arita is among the most respected hands in the hobby, and an Uncommon from Jungle's Wizards-era print run was a mid-tier pull, never a chase slot. At a $2.88 modelled guide, up 106% over 30 days on 95 copies traded, with 121 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.17 out of Temporal Forces; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
