# Escavalier #61/101 — Plasma Blast

## Summary

Escavalier is a Gen V Metal knight with a modest fanbase, best known as half of the Karrablast trade-evolution pair. Plasma Blast's regular Rare was a mid-tier pull, and with 5ban Graphics credited as illustrator, it draws little beyond Unova completists and Metal collectors. A $0.57 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 8 copies traded, says bulk, with 212 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and a PSA 10 guides at about $83 against $85 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
