# Rare Candy #100/108 — Dark Explorers

## Summary

Rare Candy powered nearly every Stage 2 deck of the Black & White years, skipping a turn of setup and punishing slow openers. As an uncommon it was never a chase pull, so its pull is playability and a Ryo Ueda credit rather than scarcity. At a $1.42 modelled guide, with 3 copies traded in 30 days, 82% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.25 out of Mega Evolution; no PSA population is on file.
