# Rotom #197/182 — Destined Rivals

## Summary

Rotom has been a Sinnoh favorite since Platinum, a mischievous appliance-possessing ghost fans adore for its personality. Taiga Kayama is a well-regarded illustrator, and an Illustration rare sat in the premium tier of Destined Rivals, where chase-slot art drives collector demand more than the attacks do. At a $2.97 sold median, down 8% over 30 days on 612 copies traded, with only 9 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.10 out of Surging Sparks; a CGC 10 brings $40, 13 times raw, but a 49% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
