# Voltorb #80/109 — Team Rocket Returns

## Summary

Voltorb here is a plain Team Rocket Returns common, the sort of pull that filled out a deck box without anyone noticing. The Pokéball-mimic gimmick keeps Gen I fans fond of it, and Sachiko Adachi's long run on the series gives completionists a small reason to bother. The modelled guide sits at $3.27, up 1% over 30 days on 18 copies traded, with 1,061 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $50, 15 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
