# Electrike #53/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Electrike is a bulk common from the very first Hoenn set, a Basic that filled out decks and binder pages rather than chase lists. Mitsuhiro Arita is among the most celebrated names in Pokémon illustration, so completionists of the Ruby & Sapphire era may still want a copy. The modelled guide sits at $0.64, down 2% over 30 days on 24 copies traded, with 313 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $48, 74 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
