# Ferroseed #79/122 — BREAKpoint

## Summary

Ferroseed is a bulk common from a Gen V Pokémon with a modest but affectionate following, mostly for its odd spiked-seed design. Satoshi Shirai is a long-running contributor to the TCG, and Metal Basics like this mostly served as deck filler, so demand stays small and completionist. A $0.08 modelled guide, up 14% over 30 days on 67 copies traded, says bulk, with only 42 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $13, 163 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
