# Galvantula #34/98 — Emerging Powers

## Summary

Galvantula is a mid-tier Uncommon from Emerging Powers, and a Stage 1 with a coin-flip Paralysis attack was more at home in casual play than at tournaments. Kagemaru Himeno, an original-era illustrator, draws collectors to Unova's electric spider, a respected Gen V design with a modest, steady following. A $0.60 modelled guide, up 5% over 30 days on 2 copies traded, says bulk, with 328 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $40, 67 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
