Sandslash (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Sandslash (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #053/100 of the Pt3: Beat of the Frontier set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
