# Pinsir #3/162 — BREAKthrough

## Summary

Pinsir is a Kanto Bug that never fully shook its fan following, and this BREAKthrough uncommon is a mid-tier pull, not a chase slot. Satoshi Shirai is a long-serving Pokémon illustrator, so the draw is a respected name on a modest card. A $0.21 modelled guide with 4 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.13 out of Prismatic Evolutions.
