# Nosepass #18/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Nosepass is a Hoenn Rock type that fans remember more fondly than they play it, and this Ruby & Sapphire version is a mid-tier rare pulled during the set's launch. Mitsuhiro Arita, among the most respected names in the game's art history, gives a modest card a collector's reason to exist. The modelled guide sits at $1.31, down 2% over 30 days on 8 copies traded, with 552 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $35, 27 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
