# Scyther #36/90 — Undaunted

## Summary

Scyther is a Gen I favorite, and the Kantō mantis keeps a loyal following among players who grew up on Red and Blue. As an Uncommon in Undaunted it was a modest pull, so demand rests on nostalgia and the unusual Kawahara and Higuchi credit. At a $1.53 modelled guide, with 14 copies traded in 30 days, 87% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.20 out of Temporal Forces; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
