# Cyndaquil #39/214 — Lost Thunder

## Summary

Cyndaquil is a bulk common, the sort of Basic that fills a binder page without anyone hunting it. Still, as a Johto starter it carries real fan affection, and Mina Nakai's name adds a small reason for completionists and starter collectors to keep a copy. A $0.35 modelled guide with 6 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $32, 93 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
