# Drilbur #124/086 — Black Bolt

## Summary

Drilbur is a Unova starter-era Basic that stayed a fan-favorite mole through Excadrill's long competitive shadow, and Black Bolt leans hard on Unova nostalgia. As an Illustration rare in a Gen V set, it's the kind of mid-tier chase that collectors reach for before the headline Pokémon. At a $6.16 modelled guide, up 12% over 30 days on 105 copies traded, with 102 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.08 out of Black Bolt; a PSA 10 brings $260, 42 times raw, but a 25% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
