# Ekans #62/214 — Unbroken Bonds

## Summary

Ekans is a bulk common from a large Sun & Moon set, a filler pull that fills binder pages rather than driving anyone to open packs. Its Kanto roots and Yumi's name on the credit give completionists and Gen I snake fans a small, steady reason to keep a copy. A $0.20 modelled guide, down 17% over 30 days on 2 copies traded, says bulk, with 493 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, and the same card plays for $0.12 out of Temporal Forces.
