# Mesprit #42/131 — Forbidden Light

## Summary

Mesprit is the emotion member of the Sinnoh lake trio, a Gen IV legend with a steady following among collectors who like the set of three. In an Uncommon slot this was a filler pull built around Uxie and Azelf support, so it sits comfortably as a trio-completionist piece. A $0.35 modelled guide, down 10% over 30 days on 24 copies traded, says bulk, with 490 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: 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 $0.21 out of Surging Sparks.
