# Manectric #39/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Manectric is a Hoenn Lightning favorite, and Ken Sugimori, the artist behind the original Pokémon designs, illustrating a Hoenn species from the first Ruby & Sapphire set gives it a creator's-hand appeal. As an uncommon it was a mid-tier pull, a solid binder card rather than a chase. The modelled guide sits at $1.84, down 6% over 30 days on 10 copies traded, with 80 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $26, 14 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
