# Grimer #57/82 — Team Rocket

## Summary

Grimer is a Team Rocket common, filler between the dark Pokémon that gave the set its identity, yet Kagemaru Himeno is a name from the original Japanese artist roster, which gives even this bulk pull some pedigree. Sludge-blob Poison types keep a small, affectionate fanbase among Gen I loyalists. The modelled guide sits at $1.08, down 34% over 30 days on 133 copies traded, with 163 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $28, 26 times raw, but 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.
