# Muk #46/116 — Plasma Freeze

## Summary

Muk is a Gen I sludge heap with a loyal following, and this one is a Psychic-type take from the Black & White years, when Plasma Freeze packs were chased for the ex pulls. A plain Rare there sat a tier below the chase, so demand rests on nostalgia and 5ban Graphics' long catalogue. The modelled guide sits at $1.42, up 13% over 30 days on 14 copies traded, with 182 days of inventory on the board; no PSA population is on file.
