# Paras #1/162 — BREAKthrough

## Summary

Paras is a bulk common, the sort of pull that fills a BREAKthrough pack without anyone chasing it. Kantō Pokémon like this mushroom-backed Bug still carry a small nostalgic following, and Hajime Kusajima's name gives completionists a reason to keep a copy. A $0.20 modelled guide, up 5% over 30 days on 5 copies traded, says bulk, with 250 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.09 out of Journey Together.
