# Tadbulb #076/197 — Obsidian Flames

## Summary

Tadbulb is a bulk common, a Basic that fills out the Lightning slots in Obsidian Flames without anyone hunting for it. Its small bench-snipe attack is a mild curiosity, and Shin Nagasawa's credit gives completionists a reason to keep a copy beyond the Paldean tadpole's modest charm. A $0.16 modelled guide, down 11% over 30 days on 34 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,925 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.14 out of Twilight Masquerade.
