# Kyurem EX #25/98 — Ancient Origins

## Summary

Kyurem EX in Ancient Origins was a real tournament piece, its Glaciate spreading damage across the whole Bench and powering the Blastoise and Keldeo-style Water lists of the era. As an Ultra Rare it was a genuine chase slot, and Unova's ice dragon carries steady fan loyalty, with PLANETA among the illustrators on this one. The modelled guide sits at $4.61, up 9% over 30 days on 32 copies traded, with only 12 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $398 and a 41% observed gem rate putting about $67 of expected profit per submission.
