# Malamar #078/196 — Lost Origin

## Summary

Malamar is a Kalos Pokémon with a cult following built on its odd Dark-Psychic design and its famously upside-down, flipping nature. As a plain Rare in Lost Origin, this is a mid-tier pull with no chase weight, so demand comes from Psychic collectors and fans of Tomokazu Komiya's work. At a $0.20 modelled guide, down 9% over 30 days on 63 copies traded, with 174 days of inventory on the board, 75% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.05 out of Shrouded Fable; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
