# Sandile #64/108 — Dark Explorers

## Summary

Sandile is a Basic common from the Black & White era, a pull that fills out a Dark Explorers binder without anyone chasing it. Unova's desert croc has a modest following among Gen V fans, and Hajime Kusajima's name keeps completionists mildly interested, which is about all the demand it needs. A $0.37 modelled guide, up 9% over 30 days on 3 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,939 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $34, 93 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
