# Lapras VMAX #050/202 — Sword & Shield

## Summary

Lapras has been a Gen I favorite since Kanto, a gentle ferry Pokémon with a devoted following, and VMAX gave it a showpiece at the start of the Sword & Shield era. As a Holo Rare VMAX in the base set, it was a mid-tier pull, desirable but never the chase. The modelled guide sits at $5.70, up 2% over 30 days on 187 copies traded, with 43 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $50, 8.8 times raw, but a 43% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
