# Dark Patch #139/189 — Astral Radiance

## Summary

Dark Patch was the engine behind Darkness decks of the Sword & Shield years, recycling Energy from the discard pile so Hoopa, Marshadow and Zarude-style attackers could ramp quickly. As a mid-rarity Item, its demand comes from players, not collectors, so it stays a quiet utility pickup. The modelled guide sits at $0.30, up 43% over 30 days on 135 copies traded, with 95 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $32, 107 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
