# Zorua #70/108 — Dark Explorers

## Summary

Zorua is a Unova fox with a real following, since its illusion trick and the Zoroark evolution keep fans loyal to the line, and Akira Komayama is a name collectors recognise from this era. As a common in Dark Explorers it was a filler pull, so demand stays modest and sentimental. The modelled guide sits at $1.47, up 1% over 30 days on 5 copies traded, with 269 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $52, 35 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
