# Helix Fossil #91/100 — Majestic Dawn

## Summary

Helix Fossil is the Kanto relic that Kabuto players have always needed, and this Majestic Dawn reprint arrived as a working Trainer-Pokémon hybrid meant to bring the old fossil mechanic back into play. Ryo Ueda is the credited illustrator, but as a common it stays firmly bulk, wanted mostly by Gen I completionists. A $0.45 modelled guide, up 10% over 30 days on 4 copies traded, says bulk, with 546 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
