# Psyduck #53/62 — Fossil

## Summary

Psyduck is a bulk common from Fossil, yet its perpetual headache made it one of Gen I's most beloved comic-relief Pokémon, and that affection props up demand. Kagemaru Himeno, a core illustrator of the original run, adds a small completionist pull for Wizards-era binder builders. At a $2.33 modelled guide, up 18% over 30 days on 229 copies traded, with 500 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.19 out of Ascended Heroes; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
