# Arceus VSTAR #027 — 30th Classic Collection

## Summary

Arceus VSTAR was a format-defining engine in its original run: Starbirth tutored two cards, and Trinity Nova fueled Pokémon V decks, so it filled lists for years. Arceus carries real fan weight as the series' creator deity, and 5ban Graphics supplies the usual in-house polish. The sold median sits at $12, up 31% over 30 days on 911 copies traded, with only 2 days of inventory on the board; no PSA population is on file.
