# Stakataka GX #176/168 — Celestial Storm

## Summary

Stakataka GX is a Gen VII Ultra Beast with a cult following among fans who like the oddball designs, and its secret rare slot sat above the set's normal GX pulls, which is what keeps collectors paying attention. 5ban Graphics is a long-running studio, so the credit alone draws completionists. The modelled guide sits at $25, flat over 30 days on 10 copies traded, with 75 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $250 and a 55% observed gem rate putting about $4.42 of expected profit per submission, and the slabbed population is growing 2% a month, faster than 91% of tracked cards.
