# Flaaffy #39/124 — Dragons Exalted

## Summary

Flaaffy is the awkward middle stage of Johto's beloved Mareep line, a Pokémon most fans remember only in passing. Atsuko Nishida, among the franchise's longest-serving and best-regarded illustrators, gives this uncommon a modest pull for completionists, while its real appeal is as a Lightning-type stepping stone. A $0.57 modelled guide, up 2% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, says bulk, with 358 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $36, 64 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
