# Elgyem #120/086 — Black Bolt

## Summary

Elgyem is a Unova Psychic with a small but devoted following, drawn to its odd alien look and its place in the Beheeyem line, and Black Bolt is a love letter to Gen V. An Illustration rare is a genuine chase tier there, so nostalgia and set-completion demand carry it, not play. At an $11 modelled guide, down 11% over 30 days on 71 copies traded, with 54 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.15 out of Temporal Forces; a PSA 10 brings $294, 28 times raw, but a 16% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
