# Shellder #23/122 — BREAKpoint

## Summary

Shellder is a bulk common from the XY era, the sort of pull that fills a binder page without anyone chasing it. Kouki Saitou is a respected name among illustrators, and Gen I Water types keep a small, steady crowd of nostalgic completionists, which is about all the demand it will see. A $0.08 modelled guide, down 33% over 30 days on 47 copies traded, says bulk, with 292 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $31, 383 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
