# Piplup #32/156 — Ultra Prism

## Summary

Piplup is a bulk common, the sort of pull that fills a binder page without anyone chasing it. The Sinnoh starter, though, has loyal fans who adore its proud little attitude, and Shibuzoh. is a respected illustrator, so completionists and Piplup collectors keep modest, steady interest alive. At a $1.17 modelled guide, up 14% over 30 days on 36 copies traded, with 103 days of inventory on the board, 84% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.19 out of Phantasmal Flames; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
