# Swellow #41/106 — Emerald

## Summary

Swellow is a Hoenn bird with a loyal following, and its Skill Dive, a bench snipe for a flat colorless cost, gave Stage 1 decks of the EX era a little reach that was handy even if never dominant. Mid-tier uncommon pulls like this reward collectors who like Naoyo Kimura's work. The modelled guide sits at $1.48, down 2% over 30 days on 10 copies traded, with 112 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $46, 31 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
