Blaine's Arcanine #1: rarity, grading and trend
Blaine's Arcanine #1 is a Rare Holo Pokémon card from Gym Challenge, the Gym era (2000). It ranks as number 3 by price out of 264 cards in the set, so it is one of the cards collectors chase when opening packs. A PSA 10 sells for about 65x the raw price, so centering and surface condition decide most of what a copy is worth. Its price has held almost flat over the last 30 days ($85.97 to $85.97). The illustration is by Ken Sugimori.
