# Camerupt #4/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Camerupt is a Hoenn Fire type with a loyal following among players who grew up on Ruby and Sapphire, and Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon artist, is a draw for completionists on any printing. As a holo in the first Hoenn set, it sat in the upper pull tier, collected mostly for nostalgia. At a $17 modelled guide, up 2% over 30 days on 16 copies traded, with 105 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.10 out of Ascended Heroes; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
