# Pawniard #78/108 — Dark Explorers

## Summary

Pawniard is a bulk common from a Black & White-era set, the sort of pull that fills a binder slot without anyone chasing it. Its small Unova fan base keeps modest interest alive, and Naoki Saito's name gives completionists a light reason to pick one up. A $0.31 modelled guide, down 3% over 30 days on 10 copies traded, says bulk, with 690 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.10 out of Ascended Heroes.
