# Beedrill #5/146 — XY

## Summary

Beedrill is a Kanto Bug-line favorite that fans have wanted to see treated well since Red and Blue, and a base-set Rare Stage 2 like this one sat in the middle of its set's pulls. Shin Nagasawa's name adds quiet appeal for illustrator-minded collectors. A $0.62 modelled guide, down 3% over 30 days on 5 copies traded, says bulk, with 242 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $67, 108 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
