# Frosmoth (Japanese) #048 — S4a: Shiny Star V

## Summary

Japan got Shiny Star V in November 2020, a high-class pack that shapes which cards chase collectors hunt, so this Japanese Frosmoth sits in a set built around shiny variants. It is a regular holo, though, not one of the glittering chase slots. The art is a pale, wings-spread moth against an icy blue forest, and the same Frosmoth appears in English in Shining Fates, which arrived in February 2021. A $0.27 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and a PSA 10 would fetch about $12 against $65 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
