How far apart are the Steelix prints in price?
This name was printed 42 times across different sets. Some share the very same artwork in a different edition; others carry different art or different attacks under the same name. Set, rarity and version, not the Pokémon, decide the gap between them.

The cards themselves are identical. Same 100 HP, same attacks. What splits the price is not the card but which box it came out of — the rarity mark and the size of the set together decide how hard one was to pull.
Put the rarity marks and the set sizes side by side and the order explains itself: the smaller the set and the scarcer the mark, the dearer the print.

5,953 Stage 1 cards carry a price. The bars show how those prices are spread across the group.
Who illustrated Steelix H29?
- Cards credited to this artist47
- Shown below12
- Read fromThe printed card face
Hikaru Koike is credited on 47 cards in this archive. The prints above are the ones that currently carry the highest prices, which is the quickest way to see the kind of card this artist tends to be given.
An illustrator is a way of sorting cards, not a reason for their price. Buying another card by the same hand does not carry the price across — what makes the price is the Pokémon, the rarity and the year, and the numbers for that sit in the ranking section.
Steelix H29 in depth — what the numbers mean
The figures from the sections above, tied together once more.
What makes the price of Steelix
- Steelix — the Pokémon this card is, and the group it is ranked inside
- Rare Holo — Skyridge, so supply came from how many packs of that set were opened, at the rate this rarity is inserted
- Illustrated by Hikaru Koike — a sorting axis, not a price driver
- Stage 1 — the class it was printed as, and the group its price is measured against
What holds the price where it is
- It sits at 0% of its own 1-year range, between $177.43 and $199.99 — priced where it has usually been
- Legal in Unlimited only, so it is not bought to fill a tournament deck
- A card that anything can remove in one turn is a card fewer decks carry, and demand is part of what a price is
- 265 daily readings stand behind every figure above
Which cheaper cards fill the same slot as Steelix H29?

0 of the 6 cards here cost less than $177.43, and the cheapest of them is $188.99 — $-11.56 below this card. Every one of them asks a deck for the same slot, so that gap is what you pay for this particular printing rather than for what it does.

Both lists are recalculated once a day, after the source archive is refreshed — the readings compared here are August 13, 2026 against August 14, 2026. Cards under $5 are left out of the ranking, because a one-cent move on a card worth a few cents becomes a double-digit percentage and would bury everything else.
