# Seel #28/108 — Evolutions

## Summary

Seel is a bulk common from a nostalgia-driven set, a Basic Water type that mostly filled out binders and evolution lines rather than decks. The draw is Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon artist, whose name gives even a throwaway Gen I common a modest pull with completionists. A $0.20 modelled guide, up 43% over 30 days on 11 copies traded, says bulk, with 2,000 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: a CGC 10 brings $50, 250 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
