# Houndoom #4/75 — Neo Discovery

## Summary

Houndoom from Neo Discovery is a Johto Dark/Fire favorite, and the Neo-era Dark type was a real novelty when it arrived. As a holo-less Rare in a set whose chase slots belonged to Espeon and Umbreon, it draws steady nostalgic demand, never frenzy. At a $243 modelled guide, with 20 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.05 out of Prismatic Evolutions; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
