# Cacturne #27/108 — Power Keepers

## Summary

Cacturne is a Hoenn Stage 1 with a modest but real following, and its Poke-POWER leaned on a Sidney's Stadium that few decks ever wanted, so it stayed a binder piece rather than a tournament piece. The Ken Sugimori credit, the Pokémon's original designer, is the real draw for completists. A $0.84 modelled guide, down 1% over 30 days on 3 copies traded, says bulk, with 90 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a CGC 10 brings $36, 43 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
