# Infernape #3/100 — Stormfront

## Summary

Infernape was Sinnoh's fire-starter finisher, and the Gen 4 generation's fans still rank it among the best final starter forms. Blaze Dance made its Stormfront holo a fast Fire-acceleration engine in decks of its day, and Mitsuhiro Arita's name is a real draw for illustrator collectors. At a $42 modelled guide, with 8 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.22 out of Twilight Masquerade; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
