# Arbok #176/162 — Temporal Forces

## Summary

Arbok is a Kanto original with a loyal cult following, and Illustration rares are where Temporal Forces gave older, overlooked Pokémon a showcase. Okubo is a respected name in that format, and a mid-tier pull for a Gen I Poison type tends to attract nostalgic collectors more than players. At a $25 sold median, down 12% over 30 days on 169 copies traded, with only 23 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.19 out of Temporal Forces; a CGC 10 brings $70, 2.8 times raw, but a 56% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
