Long term. 1–3 year: Gradual appreciation to $80–$100 for raw, graded 10 potentially reaching $300+ as Crown Zenith becomes a milestone set[3]

History

Suicune is a legendary Water-type Pokémon from the Gen II Johto region, known as the 'Mareant' or 'Aurora Beast,' representing purity, healing, and the power to purify tainted water. It is part of the legendary trio with Lanturn and Entei, worshipped in Johto mythology for its elegant appearance and pink mane.

Collector notes

Condition. Key flaws include centering shifts, edge whitening on the foil border, surface scratches on the holographic art, and print dots in the white areas. Check for creases, especially along the card's spine, and ensure the foil layer is intact without peeling[1][2].

Storage. Store in a hard plastic sleeve (penny sleeve) inside a toploader or semi-rigid case. Keep in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. For long-term protection, use a humidity-controlled box and consider graded/graded grading for high-value copies[2][3].

Authenticity. Fakes often have duller foil, incorrect card stock thickness, misaligned text, or missing print dots. Authentic cards show vibrant holofoil with crisp Atsushi Furusawa art, precise font alignment, and the official Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery set symbol. Verify the card number (GG38/GG70) and HP (210) match official databases[1][2][4].
