# Mankey #79/106 — Great Encounters

## Summary

Mankey is a bulk common from a Diamond & Pearl set, a binder-filler that nobody cracked a pack hoping for. Its pull is Ken Sugimori, the artist behind the original Pokémon designs, and Gen I Fighting types keep a loyal following of completionists who want the man's name on the page. A $0.32 modelled guide, up 7% over 30 days on 14 copies traded, says bulk, with 212 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 $0.09 out of Surging Sparks.
