# Lapras #17/101 — Plasma Blast

## Summary

Lapras has been a favorite since Gen I, a gentle ferry Pokémon that fans adopt on sight, and Kouki Saitou is a respected name among Pokémon illustrators. As a Plasma Blast common it was a plain pull, so demand comes from Lapras devotees rather than scarcity. The modelled guide sits at $0.41, up 116% over 30 days on 37 copies traded, with 45 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $47, 114 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
