# Chinchou #55/111 — Neo Genesis

## Summary

Chinchou is a Neo Genesis common, the sort of pull that filled out a Johto binder without anyone chasing it. Ken Sugimori, who designed the Pokémon themselves, is credited here, which gives a humble Gen II anglerfish a small bit of completist appeal. At a $0.48 modelled guide, down 28% over 30 days on 42 copies traded, with 182 days of inventory on the board, 77% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.11 out of Stellar Crown; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
