# Latias-EX #112/116 — Plasma Freeze

## Summary

Latias is one of Hoenn's best-loved legendaries, a perennial favorite among fans of the Eon duo, and this EX gave that affection a Black & White-era tournament home. As an Ultra Rare in Plasma Freeze, it was a genuine chase pull, with Ryo Ueda handling the illustration. At a $261 modelled guide, with 13 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $5.66 out of Surging Sparks; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $36,000 and a 6% observed gem rate putting about $1,400 of expected profit per submission.
