# Staryu (Japanese) #085 — SI: Start Deck 100

## Summary

Staryu is a common here, the kind of card that fills out the Water side of Start Deck 100 rather than anchoring it, and the Japanese deck's bulk status is the honest answer to why it stays cheap. The photo-style print has the starfish sitting on wet, dark pebbles in cool blue, a literal beach find. It came out in Japan in December 2021, ahead of the English Brilliant Stars release in February 2022. The modelled guide sits at $4.20, down 4% over 30 days on 1 copy traded, with 273 days of inventory on the board; no PSA population is on file.
