# Slugma #82/105 — Neo Destiny

## Summary

Slugma is a Neo-era Fire common, the sort of pull that filled out a Neo Destiny binder without anyone chasing it, and Johto's lava slug has never been a fan darling. The pull of this printing is Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon artist, whose name on a bulk common draws completists. A $0.67 modelled guide, up 14% over 30 days on 12 copies traded, says bulk, with 45 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 Twilight Masquerade.
