# Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR #208/189 — Astral Radiance

## Summary

Palkia is the Sinnoh space legend, and fans from the Diamond and Pearl years keep it among the most beloved box legendaries. A gold Secret Rare of the VSTAR sat above the regular chase slots in Astral Radiance, and that scarcity drives demand more than any tournament result. The modelled guide sits at $13, down 4% over 30 days on 33 copies traded, with 123 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $92, 7.0 times raw, but a 58% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
