# Poliwag #30/149 — Sun & Moon

## Summary

Poliwag is a bulk common from the opening Sun & Moon set, the sort of Basic that fills a binder slot while nobody hunts it. Asako Ito is a respected name among illustrators, and a Gen I Water type with that swirly belly keeps a small loyal crowd of nostalgic completionists around. At a $0.83 modelled guide, down 4% over 30 days on 115 copies traded, with 286 days of inventory on the board, 80% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.17 out of Twilight Masquerade; no PSA population is on file.
