# Crustle #8/108 — Dark Explorers

## Summary

Crustle is a Unova Bug-Rock oddity with a cult following for its sturdy, boulder-hauling design, and as a Dark Explorers uncommon it was a mid-tier pull, never a chase slot. Ryo Ueda is a familiar name from the Black & White era, so demand here is mostly nostalgic. A $0.43 modelled guide, up 8% over 30 days on 3 copies traded, says bulk, with 606 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.15 out of Black Bolt.
