# Golbat #31/83 — Generations

## Summary

Golbat's Sneaky Bite put free damage counters on the Bench, a small edge that fit the spread decks of the XY era, though as an Uncommon it was a working Stage 1 and never a chase slot. Kanako Eo's soft, painterly work gives this one a modest following. A $0.29 modelled guide with 1 copy traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $34, 119 times raw, but 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 $0.12 out of Shrouded Fable.
