# Sandshrew #78/149 — Boundaries Crossed

## Summary

Sandshrew is a Gen I Ground-type with a modest but steady following, a Kantō staple that rarely gets the spotlight. In Boundaries Crossed it sat at common, the kind of pull that fills a binder slot rather than anchoring one, with Naoki Saito's name attached for completists. At a $1.17 modelled guide, with 4 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.08 out of Twilight Masquerade; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
