# Poliwag #36/214 — Unbroken Bonds

## Summary

Poliwag is a bulk common, and Midori Harada's name on it is the only real reason to look twice, since she is a longtime illustrator with a loyal following. Gen I Water types keep a nostalgic crowd of completionists, though a lone Basic from a big set rarely draws more than a quiet binder slot. A $0.25 modelled guide, down 4% over 30 days on 2 copies traded, says bulk, with 2,000 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $32, 128 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
