# Staraptor #127/162 — BREAKthrough

## Summary

Staraptor is the Sinnoh bird fans remember from Ash's team, and its Stage 2 Colorless line kept a following among Gen IV loyalists. A plain Rare in BREAKthrough sat well below the chase slots, so interest comes from Kouki Saitou's art and nostalgia, not scarcity. A $0.28 modelled guide with 4 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $34, 120 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
