# Vaporeon #33/144 — Skyridge

## Summary

Vaporeon is the most beloved of the Eevee line among Gen I fans, and Skyridge is the last Wizards-era set, with the lowest print runs of its time. A regular Rare there is a mid-tier pull, but Naoyo Kimura's name and Skyridge's scarcity keep collectors interested. The modelled guide sits at $96 with 9 copies traded in 30 days; 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.
