# Kabutops #6/100 — Majestic Dawn

## Summary

Kabutops is a Kanto fossil favorite, and Primal Shell, which shuts off the opponent's Trainers while it holds the Active spot, was a disruptive ability for its Diamond & Pearl format. As a holo rare in a Stage 2 slot, it sits in the mid-tier, drawing Gen I fans and Kouki Saitou's following. The modelled guide sits at $37 with 5 copies traded in 30 days; a CGC 10 brings $89, 2.4 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
