# Xatu #52/75 — Neo Discovery

## Summary

Xatu is a Johto favorite with a cult following, the stoic totem bird that stares at the sun. Sumiyoshi Kizuki was one of the Wizards-era illustrators on the Neo sets, and as a mid-tier Uncommon this was a solid pull rather than a chase, now mostly sought by Neo-era binder builders. The modelled guide sits at $0.92, up 2% over 30 days on 34 copies traded, with 546 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $21, 22 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
