# Ferrothorn #104/128 — 30th Celebration

## Summary

Ferrothorn is a Gen V Metal Grass cult favorite, loved by competitive players for its defensive wall role since Black and White, which gives even a common some goodwill. Kaboom Needles trades a heavy self-hit for spread damage, so this is a charming oddity, though a common's demand stays modest. At a $0.19 modelled guide, up 58% over 30 days on 1,053 copies traded, with only 6 days of inventory on the board, 68% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.06 out of White Flare; no PSA population is on file.
