# Squirtle #24/135 — Plasma Storm

## Summary

Squirtle is one of the three original starters, and that Kanto loyalty gives even its humblest printings a steady audience of nostalgic completionists. A Black & White-era common like this was filler in a pack, so demand comes from Naoki Saito's name and Squirtle fans rather than scarcity. The modelled guide sits at $2.91, down 2% over 30 days on 29 copies traded, with 134 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
