# Relicanth #173/162 — Temporal Forces

## Summary

Relicanth is a Hoenn living fossil with a devoted, slightly contrarian fanbase, and Mitsuhiro Arita, the veteran behind the original Base Set Charizard, adds real pedigree to the illustration rare tier. In a Temporal Forces chase slot, that pairing drives its collector appeal. At a $10 modelled guide, up 7% over 30 days on 104 copies traded, with 101 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.12 out of Pitch Black; a CGC 10 brings $65, 6.4 times raw, but a 54% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
