# Tentacruel #45/92 — Legend Maker

## Summary

Tentacruel is a Gen I Water fixture that holds a steady place in nostalgic collections, and Kagemaru Himeno is a name with real standing among longtime fans. An uncommon in Legend Maker, it was a mid-tier pull, so demand is modest and comes mostly from set completionists. The modelled guide sits at $1.05, down 2% over 30 days on 9 copies traded, with 182 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $235, 224 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
