# Blaziken #28/160 — Primal Clash

## Summary

Blaziken has long been a Hoenn fan favorite, the Fire/Fighting starter-line finisher people still campaign to see more of. Its Spreading Flames attack made it a reliable engine in Fire decks of its format, and Mitsuhiro Arita's name keeps a plain Rare worth a collector's second glance. At a $6.13 modelled guide, with 21 copies traded in 30 days, with the tape reading as a steady markup with inventory under control, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.19 out of Destined Rivals; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
