# Abomasnow #40/162 — BREAKthrough

## Summary

Abomasnow is a steady Sinnoh favorite with a loyal following for its bulky snowy-yeti look, and Naoyo Kimura is a well-liked illustrator among collectors. As a plain Rare in BREAKthrough it was a mid-tier pull with no real chase pull to it, so demand comes from fans and completionists rather than competitive play. A $0.23 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 5 copies traded, says bulk, with 478 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $32, 139 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
