# Numel #61/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Numel is a Hoenn Fire common from the very first set of the EX era, a bulk pull that most packs handed out without ceremony. Its appeal is Ken Sugimori's name on the credit line, since he is the franchise's original artist, and that draws Gen III set completionists. A $0.64 modelled guide, down 2% over 30 days on 12 copies traded, says bulk, with 120 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a CGC 10 brings $61, 95 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
