# Axew #109/162 — BREAKthrough

## Summary

Axew is a bulk common, the sort of pull that fills out a BREAKthrough binder without anyone chasing it. Fans love the little Unova dragon and its tusks, though, and Kagemaru Himeno, a veteran of the original Pokémon card artwork, adds a quiet bit of illustrator pedigree to an otherwise modest slot. A $0.31 modelled guide, down 11% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, says bulk, with only 40 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $36, 117 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
