# Zacian V #016/025 — Celebrations

## Summary

Zacian is the Sword-wielding cover legend of Gen VIII, and a V of it in Celebrations, the anniversary set, appeals to fans who like their favorites in a commemorative frame. Mitsuhiro Arita, the original Base Set Charizard illustrator, adds lineage, and as a mid-tier holo pull it sits comfortably beneath the set's chase slots. The sold median sits at $0.68, down 6% over 30 days on 632 copies traded, with only 35 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $39, 57 times raw, but a 43% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade, and the slabbed population is growing 2% a month, faster than 91% of tracked cards.
