# Dialga #DP37 — DP Black Star Promos

## Summary

Dialga is the Sinnoh time-bending flagship of Diamond & Pearl, and this Black Star Promo carries the coin-flip Time Skip gamble that kept it in deck conversations. As a promo there's no pack-chase story, just a mascot Dialga that fans of the game's box art have long wanted. At a $51 modelled guide, with 29 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.14 out of Mega Evolution; PSA has slabbed 601 of these and only 3 are 10s, a 0.5% gem rate that makes the raw-to-gem gap the entire trade.
