# Swablu #RC23/RC32 — Generations

## Summary

Swablu is the cotton-winged Hoenn bird that fans remember as the stepping stone to Altaria, and Atsuko Nishida is one of the game's earliest illustrators. A Radiant Collection common in Generations, it draws completionists and Nishida admirers, not tournament players. At a $7.72 modelled guide, up 10% over 30 days on 42 copies traded, with 90 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.13 out of Surging Sparks; no PSA population is on file.
