# Piplup #33/113 — Legendary Treasures

## Summary

Piplup is a Sinnoh starter whose stubborn pride made it a favorite long after Diamond and Pearl, and Water-type nostalgia keeps its prints moving. As a common here it was set filler, but Mizue's soft, rounded illustration style suits a mascot like this. At a $4.40 modelled guide, up 73% over 30 days on 41 copies traded, with only 2 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.17 out of Phantasmal Flames; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
