# Volbeat (Japanese) #005 — LL: Lost Link

## Summary

Volbeat hangs in a dark, mossy woodland on this Japanese common, a round blue body with a scowling face and red hood, glowing yellow eyes locked on the viewer while Illumise hovers small in the background. It landed in April 2010 with Lost Link, months before the same card appeared in the English Triumphant set. As a bulk-tier Grass pull, Volbeat's appeal is its moody, close-up portrait. The modelled guide sits at $1.99; no PSA population is on file, and a PSA 10 would fetch about $230 against $65 in grading fees.
