# Sandslash #61/123 — Mysterious Treasures

## Summary

Sandslash is a Gen I Ground-type with a quiet following, and this Mysterious Treasures Uncommon was never a chase slot, just a mid-ladder Stage 1 that filled out the set's Fighting line. Atsuko Nishida, an original Pokémon card artist, adds a pedigree that keeps completionists interested. A $0.48 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 4 copies traded, says bulk, with 61 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.08 out of Mega Evolution.
