# Starmie #48/107 — Deoxys

## Summary

Starmie is a Kantō original with a loyal following among Gen I Water fans, and this Deoxys-era Uncommon was a modest mid-tier pull rather than a chase slot. Yukiko Baba's work belongs to the EX-era catalog, so demand comes mostly from Starmie completists and nostalgic binder-builders. The modelled guide sits at $4.20, up 42% over 30 days on 5 copies traded, with 164 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
