# Custom Catcher #231/214 — Lost Thunder

## Summary

Custom Catcher was a Lost Thunder staple in Standard, valued less for the draw mode than for the two-card gust that let players drag up a stalled target and close out a game. Toyste Beach's Secret Rare version is a rare gold-tier chase slot for a Trainer, so demand comes from completionists and players. The modelled guide sits at $5.50 with 2 copies traded in 30 days; a PSA 10 guides at $38, 6.8 times raw, but a 40% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
