# Nest Ball #181/198 — Scarlet & Violet

## Summary

Nest Ball is a staple Item that fetched a Basic straight onto the Bench, so it earned its place in countless decks across formats and was reprinted often enough to stay cheap. Toyste Beach is a respected name among artists, but demand here is player-driven, not collector-driven. The modelled guide sits at $0.21, up 40% over 30 days on 283 copies traded, with 43 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.
