# Escavalier #138/086 — Black Bolt

## Summary

Escavalier is a Gen V Bug/Steel knight with a loyal following, and as a Stage 1 with a self-damaging attack it was never a serious competitive pick, so demand is about charm. As an Illustration rare in Black Bolt, it's a mid-tier chase for fans, with Uta's name a draw. At a $16 modelled guide, down 8% over 30 days on 61 copies traded, with 110 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.10 out of Journey Together; PSA 10s at $280 are only 18 times raw with a 29% gem rate, so grading barely breaks even.
