# Cubchoo #40/135 — Plasma Storm

## Summary

Cubchoo is a bulk common from Plasma Storm, the sort of pull that fills a binder page without anyone chasing it. Its runny-nosed Unova charm gives it a soft spot with Gen V fans, and MAHOU is a name completionists tend to recognize from that era's commons. A $0.33 modelled guide, up 3% over 30 days on 12 copies traded, says bulk, with 53 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $35, 107 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
