# Barbaracle #49/106 — Flashfire

## Summary

Barbaracle is a Kalos-era Stage 1 with a modest fan following, loved more for its oddball Rock-type design than for any star power. As a plain Rare in Flashfire it sat in the mid-tier of the pull, never a chase slot, so demand comes mostly from Fighting-type completionists. A $0.51 modelled guide with 1 copy traded in 30 days says bulk, with 394 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $15, 28 times raw, but 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 $0.20 out of Perfect Order.
