# Bellibolt #201/197 — Obsidian Flames

## Summary

Bellibolt is a Paldean oddity fans warmed to for its round, croaking, stubbornly cheerful design, and an Illustration rare is exactly how a Stage 1 like this earns a binder spot. Ito's work draws a steady following among art-first collectors, while play value was modest. At a $4.30 sold median, down 17% over 30 days on 247 copies traded, with 95 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.17 out of Twilight Masquerade; a PSA 10 brings $161, 38 times raw, but a 21% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
