# Cubchoo #28/98 — Emerging Powers

## Summary

Cubchoo is a bulk common from the Black & White era, a Unova starter-adjacent cutie whose runny nose gave it an easy following among fans of the region's Gen V designs. Illustrator sui keeps this a gentle binder filler, with demand coming almost entirely from completists. A $0.51 modelled guide, down 14% over 30 days on 16 copies traded, says bulk, with only 30 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and a PSA 10 guides at about $38 against $65 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
