# Grubbin #018/264 — Fusion Strike

## Summary

Grubbin is a bulk common from a Fusion Strike set dominated by Mew-driven decks, and it sat well outside the competitive conversation. Its small pull comes from Alola nostalgia and a first Grubbin-line stage that rounds out a binder, with Asako Ito's name as a modest bonus. At a $0.28 modelled guide, up 33% over 30 days on 48 copies traded, with 237 days of inventory on the board, 89% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.03 out of Stellar Crown; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
