# Shelmet #7/101 — Plasma Blast

## Summary

Shelmet is a bulk common from the Black & White years, a Basic that filled out booster packs and trade binders without anyone chasing it. Its one real appeal is as half of the Karrablast trade-evolution pair, which keeps Gen V completionists and quirky-Pokémon fans mildly interested. A $0.36 modelled guide, down 3% over 30 days on 7 copies traded, says bulk, with 45 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $34, 94 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
