The card's flavor text gives Snom a line of lore: "It eats snow that piles up on the ground. The more snow it eats, the bigger and more impressive the spikes on its back grow."
What is Snom worth?
Snom is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Snom before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Snom is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Snom
Raw copies of Snom are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Snom is the practical move.
