# Rotom #SV038/SV122 — Shining Fates Shiny Vault

## Summary

Rotom has a devoted following as the Gen IV appliance-possessing ghost, and a Shiny Vault printing sits in the chase tier of Shining Fates, where the recolored versions were the draw. Its Roto Choice ability gave it modest utility in Rotom-themed builds, and kirisAki is a respected name. At a $6.74 modelled guide, up 18% over 30 days on 53 copies traded, with 59 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.10 out of Surging Sparks; a PSA 10 brings $85, 13 times raw, but a 51% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
