# Ralts #68/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Ralts is a bulk common from the first Hoenn set, a pull that filled binder pages rather than headlines. Its draw is the Pokémon itself, since the Gardevoir and Gallade line has a devoted following, and Kagemaru Himeno is a long-serving illustrator from the original card era. The modelled guide sits at $2.82, up 3% over 30 days on 13 copies traded, with 90 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $44, 15 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
