# Computer Search #101/130 — Base Set 2

## Summary

Computer Search paid two discards to fetch any card, which made it a staple in competitive decks of the WOTC era whenever a list needed one specific piece. This Base Set 2 printing, credited to Keiji Kinebuchi, appeals to players and completionists of that period. The modelled guide sits at $2.72 with 2 copies traded in 30 days; a PSA 10 brings $50, 18 times raw, but a 25% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
