# Victini #98/101 — Noble Victories

## Summary

Victini is the mythical mascot of Black & White, the Pokémon the whole generation opened with at number 494, and fans have stayed loyal to it. Its Victory Star ability fed coin-flip decks of the era, while Ultra Rare in Noble Victories meant a true chase slot. At a $214 modelled guide, with 15 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.13 out of Temporal Forces; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $10,000 and a 12% observed gem rate putting about $980 of expected profit per submission.
