# Lileep #42/100 — Sandstorm

## Summary

Lileep is a Hoenn fossil Pokémon with a cult following among fans who love the revival-from-stone theme, and this Sandstorm printing leans into that with an attack that fetches fossil relatives to the Bench. It was a mid-tier uncommon, so demand is mostly nostalgic completists. At a $1.30 modelled guide, up 1% over 30 days on 20 copies traded, with 328 days of inventory on the board, 85% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.19 out of Stellar Crown; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
