# Simipour #23/98 — Emerging Powers

## Summary

Simipour is a Unova monkey with a modest fan following, the sort of mid-evolution Water type Gen V players remember more fondly than they play. As a plain Rare in a small Black & White-era set it was a mid-tier pull, and its demand today comes from Sumiyoshi Kizuki completists and Unova collectors. A $0.56 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, 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 $0.15 out of Black Bolt.
