# Dialga-EX #65/101 — Plasma Blast

## Summary

Dialga-EX is a Sinnoh time dragon with a devoted following, and Plasma Blast's EX slot was a real draw in the Black & White era, when EX Pokémon were the format's heavy hitters. Eske Yoshinob is a respected name among long-time collectors, and tournament history keeps interest steady today. At a $39 modelled guide, with 13 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.67 out of SVP Black Star Promos; a PSA 10 guides at $267, 6.8 times raw, but a 4% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
