# Ninetales δ #8/101 — Dragon Frontiers

## Summary

Ninetales δ is a Delta Species Rare from Dragon Frontiers, and its Volunteer Poke-Power gave it a quirky engine identity in a format that rewarded Stage 1 tricks. Kusajima's work and Gen I Fire-line affection give it steady appeal beyond the era's nostalgia. The modelled guide sits at $182 with 14 copies traded in 30 days; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
