# Turtonator #SM27 — SM Black Star Promos

## Summary

Turtonator is a Alola Fire/Dragon with a loyal following for its blast-shell gimmick, and a Black Star promo like this was never a chase pull, just a stamped extra that reached collectors through events and bundles. TOKIYA's name adds quiet interest, but demand stays modest and niche. At a $0.40 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 28 copies traded, with 107 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.02 out of Stellar Crown; a PSA 10 guides at $350, 875 times raw, but a 14% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
