# Sandile #56/106 — Flashfire

## Summary

Sandile is a Unova starter-era desert croc that gets a modest but real following among Gen V fans and Darkness-type collectors. As a Flashfire common with a coin-flip attack, it was bulk in its own time and still is, so demand rests on completionists and Fukuda's loose, painterly hand. A $0.19 modelled guide with 12 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $33, 176 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 $0.08 out of Phantasmal Flames.
