# Cottonee #090/086 — White Flare

## Summary

Cottonee is a Gen V Grass fairy-type-adjacent favorite whose fluffy, harmless charm gives it a steady following among collectors who love the small and soft. Keisin illustrated this one, and as an illustration rare it sits in the chase tier of White Flare, where demand comes from art-first buyers rather than players. At an $8.59 modelled guide, down 12% over 30 days on 86 copies traded, with 114 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.06 out of Temporal Forces; a PSA 10 brings $300, 35 times raw, but a 13% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
