# Metal Energy #98/108 — Evolutions

## Summary

Metal Energy here is a basic Energy common, the sort of pull that fills out the back of a pack without any thrill. Players always need copies to power their Steel decks, and collectors treat this one as a quiet binder completion for Evolutions rather than something to hunt. At a $0.67 modelled guide, down 12% over 30 days on 29 copies traded, with 239 days of inventory on the board, 85% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.10 out of XY trainer Kit (Bisharp); PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
