# Electabuzz #2 — Wizards Black Star Promos

## Summary

Electabuzz is a Gen I Electric favorite, and an early Wizards promo illustrated by Pokémon's original designer, Ken Sugimori, carries a creator's-hand appeal that most mainline cards can't claim. Its Basic-with-a-coin-flip kit never threatened tournaments, so demand is collector-driven, rooted in nostalgia and completists. The modelled guide sits at $12, up 27% over 30 days on 307 copies traded, with 113 days of inventory on the board; a ACE 10 brings $108, 8.9 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
