# Abomasnow #4/131 — Forbidden Light

## Summary

Abomasnow is a Sinnoh Grass-Ice favorite with a loyal following, and its Ability to recycle Grass Energy on evolving gave it real utility for Grass decks in that Sun & Moon block. A plain Rare in Forbidden Light was a mid-tier pull, so demand stays modest and steady. A $0.25 modelled guide, up 9% over 30 days on 4 copies traded, says bulk, with 254 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $25, 100 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
