# Vileplume #8/214 — Unbroken Bonds

## Summary

Vileplume is a Gen I Grass Stage 2 with a steady fanbase, and Suwama Chiaki is a well-regarded illustrator whose work collectors follow. In Unbroken Bonds a regular Rare sat mid-tier, a pack pull worth a smile rather than a chase, so demand leans on nostalgia and completists. A $0.89 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, 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 $0.15 out of Phantasmal Flames.
