# Palossand #096/193 — Paldea Evolved

## Summary

Palossand is a Gen 7 sandcastle Ghost that a loyal niche of fans adore for how strange and memorable it is. The Stadium bonus on its second attack gave it a real Scarlet & Violet deck-building hook, while the uncommon slot keeps copies plentiful and demand modest. The modelled guide sits at $0.21, up 91% over 30 days on 149 copies traded, with 677 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $31, 147 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
