# Tinkatuff #217/193 — Paldea Evolved

## Summary

Tinkatuff is a middle-stage Pokémon, a link in the Tinkaton line that Gen 9 fans took to quickly, so its Illustration rare is a charming pull for collectors who want the whole family. Tika Matsuno is a respected name in the artist-focused crowd, and the chase-slot treatment, not the attacks, drives demand. At a $30 modelled guide, down 10% over 30 days on 83 copies traded, with 93 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.11 out of Mega Evolution; a CGC 10 brings $140, 4.7 times raw, but a 25% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
