# Bisharp #72/108 — Dark Explorers

## Summary

Bisharp is a Unova Dark type with a loyal following, and as a plain Rare in Dark Explorers it was a mid-tier pull rather than a chase slot. Its coin-flip Fury Cutter kept it a binder-and-casual favorite, and Masakazu Fukuda's name adds a small illustrator draw. A $0.97 modelled guide with 1 copy traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.12 out of Black Bolt.
