# Cherubi #012/172 — Brilliant Stars

## Summary

Cherubi is a Sinnoh cutie with a steady following among Grass-type fans, and Naoyo Kimura is a respected name in the illustrator ranks. A common in a set built around its chase slots, it was never a pull anyone chased, so demand comes from completionists and Kimura admirers. A $0.10 modelled guide, up 43% over 30 days on 97 copies traded, says bulk, with 4,730 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
