# Sandshrew #75/162 — BREAKthrough

## Summary

Sandshrew is a bulk common, the sort of Basic that fills a binder slot without anyone chasing it. Shigenori Negishi is a longtime Pokémon card illustrator, and a Kantō ground-dweller with a loyal Gen I following keeps a modest nostalgic collector base, which is about all the demand it needs. A $0.29 modelled guide with 7 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the tape reads as a decline with nothing absorbing it, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $31, 107 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
