# Salazzle #224/217 — Ascended Heroes

## Summary

Salazzle has a devoted following among Alola fans, who love its femme-fatale poison-lizard personality, and an Illustration rare is the kind of mid-tier chase that gets pulled for the art slot rather than the deck. Dsuke's soft, naturalistic work is a big reason collectors look twice at it. At a $2.50 modelled guide, up 5% over 30 days on 719 copies traded, with only 5 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.06 out of Stellar Crown; a ACE 10 brings $32, 13 times raw, but a 78% gem rate against $49 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
