# Leavanny #7/98 — Emerging Powers

## Summary

Leavanny is a Gen V Bug-type that never became a poster Pokémon, so demand rests on Unova completionists and Grass collectors rather than hype. Emerging Powers was a small early-BW set, and a plain Rare Stage 2 like this sat mid-tier, with Kouki Saitou's name the main extra draw. A $0.86 modelled guide, down 10% over 30 days on 4 copies traded, says bulk, with 119 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and a PSA 10 guides at about $53 against $65 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
