Light Arcanine #12: rarity, grading and trend
Light Arcanine #12 is a Rare Holo Pokémon card from Neo Destiny, the Neo era (2002). It ranks as number 7 by price out of 226 cards in the set, so it is one of the cards collectors chase when opening packs. A PSA 10 sells for about 29x 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 ($344.02 to $344.02). The illustration is by Atsuko Nishida.
