# Mandibuzz #69/98 — Emerging Powers

## Summary

Mandibuzz is a Unova Dark-type with a modest but steady following, helped by Mitsuhiro Arita, a name that carries weight on any card from the original Pokémon artist circle. A mid-tier Rare in a small Black & White-era set, it was playable in Darkness decks, though never a defining threat. A $0.78 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $41, 52 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.05 out of White Flare.
