# Eiscue ex #042/197 — Obsidian Flames

## Summary

Eiscue's penguin-in-an-ice-block look gives it more fan affection than its Galar-region debut ever earned in the game. As a double rare ex in Obsidian Flames it is a mid-tier pull, and 5ban Graphics, a prolific illustrator, keeps it in steady circulation rather than chase territory. The modelled guide sits at $0.84, down 24% over 30 days on 125 copies traded, with 376 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $18, 21 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
