# Yamask #51/108 — Dark Explorers

## Summary

Yamask is a Gen V ghost with a quietly beloved backstory, a spirit that carries the mask of its human face, and that melancholy keeps a devoted following. In a Dark Explorers pull it was a mid-tier uncommon, a Basic that filled decks and binders but never headlined a booster. A $0.39 modelled guide, down 5% over 30 days on 4 copies traded, says bulk, with 105 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.07 out of Surging Sparks.
