# Heatran #88/156 — Ultra Prism

## Summary

Heatran is a Sinnoh mainstay with a loyal following, a Fire and Steel volcano dweller fans have wanted in every era. In Ultra Prism it sat as a mid-tier Rare, a solid pull rather than a chase slot, and Tetsuya Koizumi's name adds a quiet note for illustrator collectors. A $0.35 modelled guide with 3 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.08 out of Pitch Black.
