# Arcanine #15/100 — Sandstorm

## Summary

Arcanine is a Gen I favorite, a loyal-dog design that has kept steady fan affection since Red and Blue. As a Rare in Sandstorm it was a solid mid-tier pull, and Hajime Kusajima's name adds a modest illustrator-collector draw for early EX-era completists. At a $14 modelled guide, with 34 copies traded in 30 days, with 394 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.13 out of Destined Rivals; a CGC 10 brings $150, 11 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
