# Skarmory #69/108 — Roaring Skies

## Summary

Skarmory is a Johto Steel bird with a loyal following, and its sturdy reputation carried through every era it appeared in. Call for Family gave this Roaring Skies Rare real deck-building utility, but a plain Rare in a set stacked with Dragon-type chases keeps it a modest, collector-friendly pickup. A $0.29 modelled guide with 2 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $34, 117 times raw, but 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 $0.08 out of Pitch Black.
