# Talonflame #029/195 — Silver Tempest

## Summary

Talonflame has kept a quiet following since Kalos, where its fast, aggressive Fire/Flying design made it a favorite with players who like pressure over patience. As a plain Rare in Silver Tempest it was a mid-tier pull, so demand leans on Keiichiro Ito completists and Fire collectors. A $0.17 modelled guide, down 19% over 30 days on 26 copies traded, says bulk, with 910 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $31, 182 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
