# Electabuzz #35/100 — Sandstorm

## Summary

Electabuzz is a Gen I Lightning staple with a steady following, and an uncommon from the Sandstorm set is a mid-tier pull that sat well below the chase slots. Kouki Saitou is a long-serving name in the ex-era illustrator roster, which suits a collector who likes completing sets. At a $2.64 modelled guide, up 6% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, with 364 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.06 out of Stellar Crown; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
