# Zoroark #71/108 — Dark Explorers

## Summary

Zoroark has been a Gen V fan favorite since Black and White for its illusionist gimmick, and Dark Explorers is the set where the Darkness theme was built around it. As a mid-tier Rare, this was a pull players wanted for decks more than binders, which keeps modest demand alive. At a $1.33 modelled guide, up 13% over 30 days on 8 copies traded, with 303 days of inventory on the board, 86% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.18 out of Shrouded Fable; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
