# Clawitzer #34/114 — Steam Siege

## Summary

Clawitzer is a Kalos Water type with a modest fan following, and Mitsuhiro Arita, who illustrated the very first Base Set cards, is a name that draws collectors on its own. Its Mega Boost ability supported Mega decks, though as a plain Rare it was a mid-tier pull. A $0.31 modelled guide with 3 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $32, 103 times raw, but 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 $0.18 out of Mega Evolution.
