# Pignite #18/114 — Black & White

## Summary

Pignite is the middle stage of the Unova Fire starter, and Black and White nostalgia keeps those evolutions on collectors' want lists. As an Uncommon in the opening set of its generation, it was a routine pull, so demand rests on completionists and fans of Emboar's line. A $0.82 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 5 copies traded, says bulk, with 424 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.18 out of Ascended Heroes.
