# Cubone #103/165 — Expedition Base Set

## Summary

Cubone is a Gen I favorite whose lonely, skull-wearing backstory gives it a following well beyond its battle record. Here it is a plain Expedition common, a binder filler with no competitive weight, so demand comes almost entirely from nostalgic Kanto completionists and Komiya's long Pokémon tenure. At a $72 modelled guide, up 3% over 30 days on 33 copies traded, with 212 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.16 out of Journey Together; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
