# Moltres #10/100 — Majestic Dawn

## Summary

Moltres is one of Kanto's three bird guardians, and Fire-type fans have kept it popular since Gen I. Kagemaru Himeno, one of the original Pokémon illustrators, adds pedigree, while a holo rare in a small Diamond & Pearl-era set made it a solid mid-tier pull, not a chase. At a $48 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 12 copies traded, with 273 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $1.80 out of Phantasmal Flames; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
