# Accelgor #11/108 — Dark Explorers

## Summary

Accelgor's Deck and Cover, which paralyzed and poisoned the target at the cost of shuffling itself away, made it a famous tournament curiosity of the Black & White years. A mid-tier Rare in its set, it draws steady interest from nostalgic players and fans of Kouki Saitou's work. At a $1.90 modelled guide, up 7% over 30 days on 1 copy traded, with 212 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.09 out of White Flare; no PSA population is on file.
