# Sunkern #005/195 — Silver Tempest

## Summary

Sunkern is a bulk common in a set where the real pulls sit far above it, so it fills a binder slot rather than anyone's want list. Still, this little Johto Grass type is famously the weakest of its kind, which gives it an underdog charm, and Saya Tsuruta's name keeps a few completists looking. A $0.12 sold median, down 8% over 30 days on 54 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,465 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: 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 Twilight Masquerade.
