# Golduck #040/217 — Ascended Heroes

## Summary

Golduck is a Kanto Water-type with a loyal following, mostly through the Psyduck headache gag and the Misty association that keeps both lines sentimental. As an Uncommon Stage 1 in a big special set, it's a mid-tier pull, and Jiro Sasumo's name adds a little illustrator interest. The sold median sits at $0.10, down 33% over 30 days on 158 copies traded, with 496 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $46, 461 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
