# Whimsicott ex #165/086 — White Flare

## Summary

Whimsicott is a Unova favorite whose fluffy, mischievous charm gives it a following well beyond its competitive record. This special illustration rare version sits in the chase tier of White Flare, so demand comes from collectors first, with mele's name adding appeal for artist-focused buyers. At a $24 modelled guide, down 8% over 30 days on 59 copies traded, with 107 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.62 out of White Flare; a PSA 10 brings $74, 3.1 times raw, but a 62% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
