# Sandile #057/086 — Black Bolt

## Summary

Sandile is a Gen V Dark and Ground desert crocodile with a modest but steady following, helped by being the line that leads to Krookodile, a favorite of Unova loyalists. Black Bolt is a Unova-themed set, so even a bulk common like this gets nostalgia-driven attention from completionists. At a $0.17 modelled guide, up 6% over 30 days on 64 copies traded, with 832 days of inventory on the board, 53% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.08 out of Phantasmal Flames; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
