# Sawsbuck #16/98 — Emerging Powers

## Summary

Sawsbuck is a Unova Stage 1 with a seasonal gimmick fans of the Black and White games still talk about, and a Rare in Emerging Powers was a mid-tier pull, never the chase slot. Kagemaru Himeno, a veteran of the earliest card art, adds quiet credibility for completionists. The modelled guide sits at $2.10, flat over 30 days on 6 copies traded, with 119 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $68, 32 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
