# Archeops #54/101 — Plasma Blast

## Summary

Archeops carries real Unova fan loyalty as the Gen V fossil bird, and in Plasma Blast it was a mid-tier Rare, a worthwhile pull but never the chase slot. Kouki Saitou, a longtime contributor to the TCG, gives completionists a further reason to keep a copy. At a $1.81 modelled guide, down 1% over 30 days on 26 copies traded, with 53 days of inventory on the board, 88% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.22 out of White Flare; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
