# Mega Heracross ex #108/094 — Phantasmal Flames

## Summary

Mega Heracross ex marks the return of Mega Evolution as a premium tier, and Heracross has long been a Johto favorite with a loyal base that rarely gets a modern showcase. An Ultra Rare ex is a solid mid-high pull, and 5ban Graphics is a prolific illustrator with a steady following. At a $1.68 modelled guide, down 9% over 30 days on 394 copies traded, with only 27 days of inventory on the board, 71% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.48 out of Phantasmal Flames; a ACE 10 brings $35, 21 times raw, but a 89% gem rate against $49 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
