# Azelf #XY142 — XY Black Star Promos

## Summary

Azelf is the Being of Willpower from the Lake Guardians trio, and Sinnoh fans have kept a soft spot for the lake spirits well past Diamond and Pearl. As a Black Star promo it was never a booster chase pull, so demand rests on completists, not pack-opening thrill. At a $13 modelled guide, with 5 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.24 out of Surging Sparks; a PSA 10 guides at $120, 8.9 times raw, but a 5% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
