# Sandile #83/149 — Sun & Moon

## Summary

Sandile is a bulk common from the opening Sun & Moon set, a pull that filled binders without anyone chasing it. Atsuko Nishida, one of the original Pokémon card illustrators, gives it a small pedigree, and Unova's desert croc keeps a modest following among Gen V completionists. A $0.09 modelled guide, down 36% over 30 days on 62 copies traded, says bulk, with 196 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.08 out of Phantasmal Flames.
