# Gorebyss #38/106 — Great Encounters

## Summary

Gorebyss is a modest Hoenn Water type with a quiet following among Gen III completionists, and an uncommon Stage 1 like this sat in the middle of its set's pull pool, neither chased nor discarded. Ken Sugimori illustrating makes it a small treat for people who collect the original art director's work. A $0.55 modelled guide, up 8% over 30 days on 5 copies traded, says bulk, with 60 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 $0.18 out of Destined Rivals.
