# Seismitoad #052/197 — Obsidian Flames

## Summary

Seismitoad is a Unova Water/Ground frog with a modest but loyal following, and Misa Tsutsui is a long-serving illustrator whose work collectors tend to seek out. Uncommon Stage 2s like this one sat in the middle of Obsidian Flames, so interest comes mostly from completionists rather than chase hunters. A $0.17 modelled guide with 13 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the tape reads as a steady markup with inventory under control, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.10 out of Black Bolt.
