# Mankey #59/116 — Plasma Freeze

## Summary

Mankey is a bulk common from a Plasma Freeze pack, the sort of slot that filled out a binder page rather than drew anyone's attention. Kagemaru Himeno drew for the original 1996 base set, and a Gen I Fighting type like this keeps a small crowd of nostalgic completionists. A $0.35 modelled guide, up 3% over 30 days on 10 copies traded, says bulk, with 190 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.09 out of Surging Sparks.
