# Sinistea #089/202 — Sword & Shield

## Summary

Sinistea is a bulk common from the opening Sword & Shield set, and its symmetrical draw attack kept it a curiosity rather than a staple. Saya Tsuruta's fan-friendly illustration work and the haunted-teacup charm of this Galar Pokémon give completionists a small, steady reason to pull one. A $0.24 modelled guide, up 14% over 30 days on 32 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,119 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.
