# Moltres #30/110 — Legendary Collection

## Summary

Moltres has long been the quieter member of the Kantō bird trio, and Arita is the artist most associated with early Pokémon card art. Wildfire was a deck-thinning gimmick, never a tournament staple, so as a mid-tier Rare in this reprint set, demand is driven by nostalgia rather than meta play. At a $13 modelled guide, with 7 copies traded in 30 days, 84% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $2.14 out of Phantasmal Flames; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
