# Carbink #50/124 — Fates Collide

## Summary

Carbink is a Gen VI Fairy-Rock oddity with a quiet cult following, and this printing carries Safeguard, an ability that shut off Pokémon-EX attacks entirely, which made it a real tech option in an EX-saturated format. As a common it was an ordinary pull; kawayoo's name is the collectible angle. A $0.14 modelled guide, down 7% over 30 days on 9 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,364 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $31, 222 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
