# Sneasel ex #103/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Sneasel ex belongs to the first wave of EX-era Pokémon-ex, when a Johto Dark type got a big-card treatment that fans of the Gen II sharp-clawed ambusher still remember fondly. Its coin-flip attacks were more charming than competitive, so demand rests on nostalgia and Ryo Ueda's name. The modelled guide sits at $92 with 66 copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $5,775 and a 3% observed gem rate putting about $95 of expected profit per submission, and the slabbed population is growing 3% a month, faster than 86% of tracked cards.
