# Sinistea #097/197 — Obsidian Flames

## Summary

Sinistea is a bulk common, the sort of pull that fills a binder page without anyone chasing it. Yuka Morii's long run as a Pokémon illustrator is the real reason to look, and Galar's haunted teacup keeps a modest, steady following among completionists. The modelled guide sits at $0.27, flat over 30 days on 250 copies traded, with 283 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
