# Gouging Fire ex #038/162 — Temporal Forces

## Summary

Gouging Fire is one of the Paradox Pokémon, a prehistoric echo of Entei, and it has a real following among Fire-type fans and Johto veterans. As a Double Rare ex it was the ordinary hit of its set, never the chase slot, so demand rests on the Pokémon and on 5ban Graphics' name. At a $0.67 modelled guide, down 6% over 30 days on 138 copies traded, with 131 days of inventory on the board, 6% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.63 out of SVP Black Star Promos; a PSA 10 brings $28, 42 times raw, but a 48% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
