# Pineco #85/144 — Skyridge

## Summary

Pineco is a bulk common from Skyridge, the last and scarcest WOTC-era set, where a Basic with a coin-flip attack was filler, not a pull anyone chased. Arita's name and a Johto Grass bug-type's modest fanbase give it a small completionist pull, nothing more. At a $13 modelled guide, with 1 copy traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.09 out of Temporal Forces; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
