# Voltorb #71/106 — Emerald

## Summary

Voltorb from Emerald is a plain bulk common, the sort of filler that padded out the EX-era binder without a second thought. Its modest pull is a Gen I Pokéball impostor with a small following of oddity fans, and Masakazu Fukuda's name gives completionists a little extra reason to keep one. A $0.70 modelled guide, down 3% over 30 days on 7 copies traded, says bulk, with 313 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
