Grimer (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility

Cataloged as Common #001/054 of the Rulers of the Heavens 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.
