# Swinub #79/109 — Team Rocket Returns

## Summary

Swinub is a bulk common from the EX era, the sort of filler pull that fills out a binder page without anyone chasing it. Tomokazu Komiya's name draws some Gen II completists, but the pig's modest fan base and no real tournament role keep demand small and steady. The modelled guide sits at $5.85, up 10% over 30 days on 16 copies traded, with 241 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $52, 8.8 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
