# Zebstrika #48/99 — Next Destinies

## Summary

Zebstrika is a Unova Lightning Stage 1 with a modest but steady following among Gen V fans, and as a mid-tier Rare in Next Destinies it was a pull rather than a chase. Naoki Saito's name adds a quiet draw for illustrator collectors. A $0.56 modelled guide, down 10% over 30 days on 4 copies traded, says bulk, with 224 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $37, 67 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
