Why this card matters

pop

Promo has no reprint risk and pop is low (12 total graded), but sample is tiny so true scarcity is unproven, not structurally capped.

demand

Salamence/Mega-EX cohort has durable collector pull, but raw sits at $78 and mid-grade comps ($126-$158) show modest ceiling outside top pop.

artist

M Salamence-EX holo promo art has strong Mega-era dragon appeal, but it's a standard promo treatment, not a rare alt-art chase piece.

catalyst

30d momentum +4.7% looks mild but rests on a thin comp set (one CGC 10 sale at $999 skews it); no fresh catalyst beyond nostalgia.
