# Tepig #029/217 — Ascended Heroes

## Summary

Tepig is a bulk common, a Basic filler pull that nobody opens a pack hoping for. The draw is Unova's beloved fire-pig starter, a Black and White favorite with a loyal following, and Uninori's name on the illustration, though in a common slot demand stays modest and sentimental. A $0.14 modelled guide, up 56% over 30 days on 29 copies traded, says bulk, with 3,567 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
