# Altaria #53/108 — Roaring Skies

## Summary

Altaria is a Hoenn favorite, and Arita's name on an Uncommon is the draw here, since he is among the most celebrated hands in the game's history. Its Song of Echoes gave it some utility in Roaring Skies, but the demand is mostly nostalgia for the cloud-winged Dragon. A $0.33 modelled guide, down 20% over 30 days on 23 copies traded, says bulk, with 851 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $36, 109 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
