# Voltorb #39/108 — Evolutions

## Summary

Voltorb is a bulk common from a set built on Base Set nostalgia, where the real demand went to the reprinted Charizard and friends. Gen I's Poké Ball impostor has a loyal cult following, though, and Keiji Kinebuchi is a veteran illustrator with a long Pokémon résumé, so completionists will happily take one. A $0.18 modelled guide, up 13% over 30 days on 5 copies traded, says bulk, with 657 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.
