# Keldeo ex #159/086 — White Flare

## Summary

Keldeo is a Unova mythical with a loyal following, and it returns here as an ex in a set built around Unova nostalgia. Ultra Rare is a chase tier in this set, and the Gale Thrust and Sonic Edge pairing gives players reason to look at it too. At a $1.15 modelled guide, down 32% over 30 days on 288 copies traded, with only 16 days of inventory on the board, 57% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.50 out of White Flare; a CGC 10 brings $31, 27 times raw, but a 71% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
