# Xatu #79/236 — Cosmic Eclipse

## Summary

Xatu is a beloved Johto Psychic type, and its odd, watchful design has kept fans attached since Gold and Silver. In a huge set like Cosmic Eclipse, a plain Rare was a mid-tier pull, so demand comes from Anesaki Dynamic's work and Xatu devotees, not competitive play. A $0.32 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 13 copies traded, says bulk, with 851 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 brings $255, 797 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
