# Drilbur #8/12 — McDonald's Collection 2012

## Summary

Drilbur is a Unova starter-era Fighting type with a modest but real fanbase, mostly drawn to the mole's scrappy Excadrill evolution. McDonald's promos were handed out with Happy Meals, so this was pulled by kids rather than chased, which makes it a nostalgia piece, not a rarity. At a $5.39 modelled guide, down 1% over 30 days on 10 copies traded, with 40 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.05 out of Black Bolt; no PSA population is on file.
