# Pinsir #9/83 — Generations

## Summary

Pinsir from Generations is a mid-tier Rare, a solid pull rather than a chase slot, in a set built around Gen I nostalgia and celebration reprints, which suits a Kantō bug fans still love. Satoshi Shirai is a respected veteran illustrator, so the name adds modest appeal. A $0.33 modelled guide, down 3% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, says bulk, with 134 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: 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 Twilight Masquerade.
