# Reshiram #BW23 — BW Black Star Promos

## Summary

Reshiram fronted Black & White as the Unova box legend, and fans who started with that generation still hold real affection for it. A Black Star Promo was a handout rather than a booster chase, so demand here is nostalgia and Fire-type loyalty, not scarcity. At an $18 modelled guide, with 14 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.06 out of Stellar Crown; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $3,720 and a 12% observed gem rate putting about $300 of expected profit per submission.
