# Cubchoo #053/197 — Obsidian Flames

## Summary

Cubchoo is a bulk common, the sort of pull that fills out a binder page rather than anchoring it. Its pull is the Unova fanbase's soft spot for the runny-nosed cub, and Mizue is a respected illustrator whose commons tend to get a second look. A $0.11 modelled guide, down 31% over 30 days on 17 copies traded, says bulk, with 3,970 days of inventory sitting 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.
