# Paras #003/189 — Darkness Ablaze

## Summary

Paras is a plain Darkness Ablaze common, the sort of pull that fills a binder slot and nothing more, and it never had a role in competitive play. The draw is Atsuko Nishida, one of the original Pokémon card artists, plus a Gen I Grass favorite for completionists. A $0.10 modelled guide, up 100% over 30 days on 82 copies traded, says bulk, with 270 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
