# Axew #145/086 — Black Bolt

## Summary

Axew is a Unova starter-era favorite, and Black Bolt is a Unova celebration, so this Illustration rare lands squarely on Gen V nostalgia. Ayako Ozaki is a respected name among Illustration rare collectors, and a chase-tier slot for a small Dragon draws buyers more than the playable attack does. At a $16 modelled guide, down 12% over 30 days on 130 copies traded, with 97 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.12 out of Shrouded Fable; a CGC 10 brings $90, 5.5 times raw, but a 41% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
