# Samson Oak #185/214 — Unbroken Bonds

## Summary

Samson Oak is a Trainer-only draw effect with a narrow condition, and in Unbroken Bonds it sits in the secret-rare tail of the set, so scarcity comes from its place in the pull order. Collectors mostly want the character: Professor Oak's appeal runs through every generation, and Masakazu Fukuda handled it. A $0.21 modelled guide, down 5% over 30 days on 7 copies traded, says bulk, with 450 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $31, 150 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
