# Sandslash #132/264 — Fusion Strike

## Summary

Sandslash is an uncommon in a set dominated by Fusion Strike-style ex and VMAX chase slots, so it was always filler between the big pulls. Kyoko Umemoto's long run illustrating Pokémon gives it a small completionist pull, and Gen I Fighting types still earn a modest loyal following. A $0.14 modelled guide, up 250% over 30 days on 58 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,250 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.11 out of Mega Evolution.
