## Summary

Kabu is the Galar Gym Leader whose Fire-type team fans remember from the Sword & Shield games, and this full-art Supporter arrived at ultra rare tier, a genuine pull rather than filler.

The modelled guide sits at $1.14, down 8% over 30 days on 26 copies traded, with 329 days of inventory on the board; no PSA population is on file.
