# Noctowl #43/115 — Unseen Forces

## Summary

Noctowl is a Johto owl with a steady following, and Spearhead's draw engine made it a real playable in its Unseen Forces format. It sat in the uncommon tier as a dependable mid-pack pull, and Mitsuhiro Arita's name on an ordinary uncommon gives a modest card some added collector interest. The modelled guide sits at $1.84, up 21% over 30 days on 4 copies traded, with 224 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $23, 12 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
