# Psyduck (Japanese) #015 — BW6: Cold Flare

## Summary

Psyduck landed in Japan in July 2012 with BW6: Cold Flare, about four months ahead of Boundaries Crossed, the English set that carries the same card. The Japanese Psyduck is a plain common, drawn with the duck sitting dazed on a village lane, straw-roofed huts behind it under a bright sky, all on a light blue frame. As bulk it costs little, but its goofy blank stare has kept fans fond of it for decades. The modelled guide sits at $4.98 with no copies traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file, and a PSA 10 would fetch about $510 against $85 in grading fees.
