# Steelix #15/111 — Neo Genesis

## Summary

Steelix is one of the Johto starters' era highlights for Metal fans, and Neo Genesis was where that new type first got real representation. A Ken Sugimori credit means the original Pokémon designer drew it himself, and a non-holo Rare sits a tier below the set's chase slots. At a $150 modelled guide, with 43 copies traded in 30 days, with 91 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.19 out of Mega Evolution; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
