# Tadbulb #074/197 — Obsidian Flames

## Summary

Tadbulb is a bulk common from the Scarlet & Violet era, a first-stage pull nobody opens a pack hoping for. Its Energize attack gave Lightning decks a little acceleration, which makes it a quiet utility body for players, while kirisAki's name adds a small reason for illustrator collectors to take a look. A $0.14 modelled guide, up 8% over 30 days on 28 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,510 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $31, 220 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
