# Sawk #59/98 — Emerging Powers

## Summary

Sawk is an uncommon from a small Black & White-era expansion, so it was a middle-of-the-box pull and never a chase slot. Its pull is mostly Kouki Saitou's long association with the franchise and a Gen V karate-type design that fans still remember warmly. A $0.35 modelled guide, up 6% over 30 days on 10 copies traded, says bulk, with 61 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, and the same card plays for $0.11 out of White Flare.
