# Kabutops #14/144 — Skyridge

## Summary

Skyridge is the final and scarcest chapter of the WOTC era, and a Stage 2 Rare here sits in the middle of a set where holos were the real chase. Kabutops carries a devoted Gen I fanbase, and Kouki Saitou's name adds a small draw for illustrator completists. The modelled guide sits at $60 with 4 copies traded in 30 days; a CGC 10 brings $303, 5.0 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
