# Scyther #49/100 — Stormfront

## Summary

Scyther has always been a Gen I favorite, a fast mantis that stayed popular long after Kanto, and Mitsuhiro Arita is among the most respected names in Pokémon illustration. As a Stormfront uncommon it was a mid-tier pull, so demand comes from Arita fans and Scyther completionists. At a $3.12 modelled guide, up 10% over 30 days on 13 copies traded, with 50 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.19 out of Temporal Forces; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
