# Parasect #7/83 — Generations

## Summary

Parasect is a Gen I fan-favorite oddity, a mushroom-bound bug that collectors keep a soft spot for, and Sumiyoshi Kizuki is a respected name among Pokémon illustrators. A plain Rare in a celebratory set means a mid-tier pull, with Colorful Spores offering only modest competitive appeal. A $0.35 modelled guide, up 17% over 30 days on 8 copies traded, says bulk, with 134 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $38, 109 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
