# Donphan #73/168 — Celestial Storm

## Summary

Donphan has long been a quiet favorite among Johto fans, a sturdy Ground type people remember from Gold and Silver and the Rapid Spin days. As a Celestial Storm uncommon it was a mid-tier pull, so interest comes mostly from Sugimori's name, since he drew the original Pokémon designs. A $0.33 modelled guide, up 3% over 30 days on 5 copies traded, says bulk, with 582 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $32, 97 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
