# Aggron #1/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Aggron opening the very first Ruby & Sapphire set as its lead holo gives this printing a modest historical hook, and Arita's name always carries weight with Charizard-era collectors. Hoenn's armored Steel type has loyal fans, though its coin-flip attacks kept it a binder piece, not a tournament staple. At a $37 modelled guide, up 9% over 30 days on 10 copies traded, with 134 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.16 out of Twilight Masquerade; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
