# Basculin #35/114 — Black & White

## Summary

Basculin is a Gen V Water type with a modest following, and an Uncommon in the very first Black & White set was filler for most pulls rather than a chase slot. Naoyo Kimura's name adds a little for illustrator completists, but demand here stays small and nostalgic. A $0.37 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 5 copies traded, says bulk, with only 15 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 brings $25, 68 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
