# Articuno #2/110 — Legendary Collection

## Summary

Articuno is one of the three Kanto birds that fans have cherished since Red and Blue, and its Water-type Blizzard was a coin-flip gamble more than a competitive plan. Mitsuhiro Arita is a name collectors seek out, and a holo here was a prized pull. At a $71 modelled guide, with 4 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.14 out of Journey Together; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
