# Skarmory #51/100 — Stormfront

## Summary

Skarmory is a Johto Steel-flying favorite whose armored-bird design has held fans since Gold and Silver, and Kagemaru Himeno is among the franchise's earliest illustrators, which gives veterans a reason to look. As an uncommon it was a mid-tier pull, modest but dependable. A $0.46 modelled guide, up 5% over 30 days on 2 copies traded, says bulk, with 546 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: 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 $0.07 out of Pitch Black.
