# Dunsparce #53/144 — Skyridge

## Summary

Dunsparce is a Johto oddity with a quiet cult following, and a common from Skyridge, the last and rarest of the old Wizards-era sets, gets looked at differently than ordinary bulk. Yuka Morii is a respected name from the original illustrator generation, and the Poke-Body gave it a small, odd competitive hook. At a $43 modelled guide, with 4 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.18 out of Temporal Forces; a CGC 10 brings $109, 2.5 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
