# Cyndaquil #40/214 — Lost Thunder

## Summary

Cyndaquil is a Johto starter, and Gen II's fire mouse has kept a devoted following since Gold and Silver, which gives even a bulk common here a steady nostalgic audience. kirisAki is a name some Pokémon illustrator fans track, but as a plain common in a big set, it is mostly a filler pull. A $0.36 modelled guide, down 3% over 30 days on 23 copies traded, says bulk, with 181 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $33, 92 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
