# Delcatty #29/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Delcatty is a mid-tier Hoenn pull from the very first EX-era set, valued mostly by completionists and Gen III loyalists rather than players. Ken Sugimori, the man who drew the original Pokémon artwork, gives it a pedigree that outweighs its modest rarity and quiet competitive footprint. At a $1.48 modelled guide, with 11 copies traded in 30 days, with the tape reading as a floor forming near the lows, 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.
