# Heracross #43/109 — Team Rocket Returns

## Summary

Heracross is a Johto Fighting type with a devoted following, and Tomokazu Komiya is a long-serving illustrator whose work collectors recognize at a glance. An Uncommon from Team Rocket Returns, it was a mid-tier pull, so demand rests on affection for the beetle rather than scarcity. At a $15 modelled guide, up 6% over 30 days on 19 copies traded, with 636 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.20 out of Twilight Masquerade; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
