# Blaziken GX #28/168 — Celestial Storm

## Summary

Blaziken is a Hoenn starter whose final form has long ranked among the most loved Fire types, and a GX version from the Sun & Moon years brings that sentiment to the table. As an Ultra Rare, it was a real chase pull in its set, with 5ban Graphics handling the art. The modelled guide sits at $17, up 1% over 30 days on 52 copies traded, with 96 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $280 and a 48% observed gem rate putting about $38 of expected profit per submission, and the slabbed population is growing 3% a month, faster than 86% of tracked cards.
