# Swablu #79/107 — Deoxys

## Summary

Swablu is a bulk common, a Hoenn Basic that filled out the EX-era binder without anyone chasing it, though its coin-flip Poke-BODY gave it a little personality. Kyoko Umemoto's name and Hoenn nostalgia give completionists a reason to slot it in, and that is the whole draw. At a $1.97 modelled guide, up 5% over 30 days on 16 copies traded, with 254 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.13 out of Surging Sparks; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
