# Sandslash #84/214 — Unbroken Bonds

## Summary

Sandslash is a Gen I Ground-type that rarely tops anyone's favorites list, but Kantō nostalgia keeps a quiet audience around it. Negishi's long tenure illustrating the game suits a plain Rare in a huge Sun & Moon set, so this is a modest binder pull rather than a chase. A $0.35 modelled guide, down 5% over 30 days on 16 copies traded, says bulk, with 761 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $32, 92 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
