# Malamar #045/073 — Champion's Path

## Summary

Malamar is a Kalos Dark type with a small but devoted following, mostly from fans who love its upside-down, hypnotic oddity. As a mid-tier Uncommon in the compact Champion's Path set, it was a modest pull, and kawayoo's name is the main draw for illustrator completists. A $0.19 modelled guide, up 6% over 30 days on 11 copies traded, says bulk, with 3,818 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.05 out of Shrouded Fable.
