# Tadbulb #075/197 — Obsidian Flames

## Summary

Tadbulb is a bulk common, a Gen IX tadpole with a modest following and little pull outside new-generation completionists. Saya Tsuruta is a long-running Pokémon illustrator, so a binder-filler like this earns a small, steady nod from artist collectors rather than a chase. A $0.19 modelled guide, up 46% over 30 days on 18 copies traded, says bulk, with 2,075 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.11 out of Twilight Masquerade.
