# Serperior ex #156/086 — Black Bolt

## Summary

Serperior ex is the Unova starter that a loyal Gen V crowd has waited on for years, and its Regal Cheer damage boost plus a three-card search attack give it a real Grass deck role. As an Ultra Rare in Black Bolt, it sits in the chase tier, with N-DESIGN Inc. credited on the art. At a $1.27 modelled guide, down 4% over 30 days on 215 copies traded, with 27 days of inventory on the board, 57% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.55 out of Black Bolt; a CGC 10 brings $27, 21 times raw, but a 67% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
