Card Background & Set Context

Pokemon Card 151 (sv2a) released 16 June 2023 in Japan as a nostalgia-themed Scarlet & Violet expansion celebrating the original Generation I Pokedex (Bulbapedia, accessed 2026-05-09). The 165-card set features every Kanto Pokemon from Bulbasaur to Mew, illustrated by a rotating cast of artists with strong reference to Ken Sugimori's classic Red/Green/Blue art direction. Lickitung 108/165 is the Common-rarity Colorless-type entry, illustrated by Saya Tsuruta — a single 70-damage Tongue-Tied (ベロベロバインド) attack at three Colorless energy that locks the defending Pokemon, with Fighting weakness and a four-energy retreat cost (Bulbapedia, accessed 2026-05-09). The English equivalent is Scarlet & Violet 151 #108 (released 22 September 2023). Pokemon Card 151 also introduced the Master Ball Mirror Holo parallel — every card in the set has a Master Ball variant pulled roughly 1 in 200 packs, plus a Poké Ball reverse-holo found in every booster pack. PSA 10 trades on Lickitung 108 cluster heavily around the Master Ball parallel; base Common slabs are common and inexpensive.

Investment Analysis

Price stack on Lickitung 108 is thin and variant-driven. Base Common reverse-holo PSA 10 secondary listings sit in the $15-30 USD range (eBay / GameStop comps, accessed 2026-05-09) — well below the $57.40 Poke10 index, which suggests the index is anchored on the rarer Master Ball Mirror parallel rather than base Common copies. Master Ball Mirror Holo is the chase parallel of every card in Pokemon Card 151, pulled at roughly 1 in 200 packs (community estimate; Pokemon Company has not published official rates) and is the only variant that justifies a $50+ PSA 10 grade on a Common Pokemon. Raw and PSA 9 baselines are not available in payload — Poke10 will publish once a confirmed bid stack forms. 30-day volume = 0 means any single sale moves the index materially; treat current price as a thin marker rather than a settled fair value. Grading EV on base Common: at $5-12 raw + $25 PSA JP + $12 ship the breakeven sits below $42, so positive EV requires the Master Ball variant or a Pokeball-pattern reverse holo that consistently grades. Lickitung is not a chase Pokemon and lacks competitive play relevance; appreciation thesis is purely set-completion driven by 151 collectors filling Master Ball Mirror runs.

Risks to Watch

Primary risk is liquidity: 30-day Poke10 PSA 10 volume is 0, meaning the $57.40 index is anchored on a thin sale stack rather than active market depth. Single-buyer markdowns can shift the price 25-40% on next print. Second, variant ambiguity — without the variant tag explicit on a slab listing, buyers can mistake the price for any of three variants; always confirm slab notation before purchase. Third, Pokemon Card 151 print run is large by Japanese standards (set saw multiple reprint waves through 2024 due to the 151-themed nostalgia demand) and Master Ball pop continues to climb at PSA Tokyo + PSA US — pop pressure on PSA 10 pricing is gradual but real. Fourth, JPY reversion 152→130 trims USD-denominated index ~15%. Fifth, Lickitung is not a competitive or iconic chase Pokemon, so set-completion demand is the only structural support. Upside: 151-set nostalgia continues to drive Master Ball parallel demand, and Pokemon 30th anniversary 2026 may renew Generation I collector momentum.

Price History (90 days)

Lickitung (ベロリンガ) Pokemon Card 151 sv2a 108/165 PSA 10 trades $57.40 USD on Poke10's Japan live index — a Common-rarity Colorless 100 HP card from the Japan-exclusive Pokemon Card 151 expansion released 16 June 2023, illustrated by Saya Tsuruta. As a base Common, the bulk PSA 10 supply prices near raw plus grading cost; the $57 mark is consistent with the scarcer Master Ball Mirror or Poké Ball reverse-holo parallel variants from the same set, which dominate graded Lickitung 108 listings. 30-day PSA 10 transaction count on Poke10 is 0 — illiquid relative to set chase cards. Poke10 sources authenticated slabs direct from Japanese dealers with full PSA verification.

Card Background & Set Context

Investment Analysis

Japanese vs English & Variants

Lickitung 108 prints in three confirmed Japanese variants: (1) base Common non-holo, (2) Poké Ball reverse-holo (one per booster pack), (3) Master Ball Mirror Holo (~1:200 packs). PSA 10 prices diverge sharply: base non-holo $5-15, Poké Ball reverse $20-40, Master Ball Mirror $50-90 (eBay / PriceCharting comps, accessed 2026-05-09). The $57.40 Poke10 index aligns with the Master Ball Mirror tier. English counterpart Scarlet & Violet 151 #108 Lickitung exists in the same three variant structure released 22 September 2023; English Master Ball PSA 10 typically trades 30-50% below Japanese due to larger English print run. No Pokemon Center stamp, no promo, no SAR/SR upgrade exists for Lickitung 108 — the Master Ball is the ceiling print.

Authentication & Cert Verification

Common-tier authentication is straightforward but the Master Ball variant warrants closer scrutiny. (1) PSA cert online lookup is mandatory before any purchase above $30. (2) Card stock for sv2a is 0.30-0.32mm; counterfeit JP 151 stock often tests 0.25mm or 0.35mm+. (3) Master Ball Mirror parallel shows a distinct etched purple-and-magenta Master Ball pattern across the entire card face with a fine cross-hatch holographic finish — fakes show banded or printed-on holo without depth at 10x loupe. (4) Poké Ball reverse-holo shows red-and-white Pokéball motif across the full card body; pattern alignment must be uniform. (5) 'Saya Tsuruta' (絆堂) illustrator credit bottom-left in 4pt font — verify spelling and font weight. (6) Japanese set symbol '151' and the C rarity glyph must match Bulbapedia reference imagery. (7) Holographic foil bleeds into the artwork frame on genuine cards and stops cleanly at the border on fakes. Counterfeit incidence on JP 151 Common cards is low compared to chase SAR/UR but rising on Master Ball variants; never buy without slab verification.
