# Pineco #71/97 — Dragon

## Summary

Pineco is a bulk common, one of the Johto bug-types that fill out a set without anyone chasing them, though its Exoskeleton body made it a sturdy little blocker on paper. Hajime Kusajima's name adds a small draw for illustrator completionists, and that is the real extent of demand here. A $0.73 modelled guide, down 1% over 30 days on 5 copies traded, says bulk, with 135 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a CGC 10 brings $13, 18 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
