# Genesect #BW99 — BW Black Star Promos

## Summary

Genesect is a Gen V mythical with a loyal following, and a Black & White-era promo like this was handed out rather than chased. Demand comes from Unova completionists and Genesect fans, since a common promo has never carried scarcity or tournament weight. At a $9.57 modelled guide, with 14 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.15 out of Shrouded Fable; no PSA population is on file.
