# Mandibuzz #73/114 — Black & White

## Summary

Mandibuzz is a modest fan draw, a bone-collecting Unova scavenger whose Dark typing and vulture design give it a loyal niche over the years. Kouki Saitou illustrated it, and as a plain Rare in the opening Unova set it sat mid-tier, a solid pull but never the chase. A $0.81 modelled guide, up 3% over 30 days on 3 copies traded, says bulk, with 485 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.06 out of White Flare.
