# Jynx #28/115 — Unseen Forces

## Summary

Jynx has always drawn a devoted crowd, partly for the Gen I nostalgia and partly because few Pokémon design arguments run as long. A non-holo Rare in Unseen Forces, this was a mid-tier pull rather than a chase slot, and Yukiko Baba's name adds some interest for illustrator collectors. At a $2.59 modelled guide, down 26% over 30 days on 11 copies traded, with 373 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.16 out of Mega Evolution; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
