# Linoone #38/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Linoone is a Hoenn Normal type with a modest but steady following, and Ken Sugimori, the artist behind the original Pokémon designs, puts a notable name on a mid-tier pull from the first Hoenn set. Its deck-search attack gave it real utility, but demand rests on nostalgia and completionism. At a $2.16 modelled guide, with 4 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.09 out of Phantasmal Flames; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
