# Poké Ball #121/130 — Base Set 2

## Summary

Poké Ball was a coin-flip search Trainer that made its way into plenty of Wizards-era decks, since a Basic or Evolution fetch on heads was real consistency at the time. It sits in the common slot of a reprint set, so demand is about completing the era, not chasing it. A $0.43 modelled guide with 1 copy traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 brings $41, 95 times raw, but a 22% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade, and the same card plays for $0.12 out of Perfect Order.
