# Dratini #52/109 — Team Rocket Returns

## Summary

Dratini is a bulk common in a set where the Dark Pokémon and Rocket's Secret Machines drew the attention, so it sat in binders as filler. Sachiko Adachi is a longtime illustrator for the game, and a Gen I pseudo-legendary line like this one keeps a small but loyal following. At a $3.81 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 12 copies traded, with 667 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.24 out of Ascended Heroes; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
