# Lapras #31/181 — Team Up

## Summary

Lapras is a Kantō original with a devoted following, and a Ken Sugimori credit matters because he drew the first Pokémon designs, with its Hydro Pump scaling off Water Energy as a straightforward pick for Water decks. As a plain Rare in Team Up, demand stays modest and sentimental. At a $2.24 modelled guide, down 12% over 30 days on 29 copies traded, with 1,970 days of inventory sitting on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.21 out of Stellar Crown; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
