# Cyndaquil #18/162 — BREAKthrough

## Summary

Cyndaquil is a Johto starter whose fan following keeps even its commons moving, and Tomokazu Komiya is a long-serving Pokémon illustrator whose work is easy to collect in quantity. In BREAKthrough it was a filler pull, so demand comes from fans, not chase. The modelled guide sits at $1.48 with 51 copies traded in 30 days, and the tape reads as a decline with nothing absorbing it; a PSA 10 guides at $244, 165 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
