# Houndour #45/214 — Lost Thunder

## Summary

Houndour is a Johto Dark/Fire pup with a loyal following, and this printing carries Ken Sugimori's name, the original Pokémon designer, which gives an otherwise ordinary common a small pedigree. It sat at the bottom of its set's pull ladder, so demand comes from completionists and Sugimori hunters, not players. A $0.25 modelled guide, down 14% over 30 days on 17 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,836 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $32, 130 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
