# Snorlax #101/135 — Plasma Storm

## Summary

Snorlax is a Gen I favorite whose sleepy, immovable charm has kept it popular since Red and Blue, and this Team Plasma-flavored version pairs that comfort-pick appeal with 5ban Graphics, an illustrator better known for the Pokémon TCG's plain, workmanlike printings. As a mid-tier Rare, it drew little chase demand. At a $31 modelled guide, up 5% over 30 days on 28 copies traded, with 90 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.18 out of Perfect Order; PSA has slabbed 191 of these and only 3 are 10s, a 2% gem rate that makes the raw-to-gem gap the entire trade.
