# Potion #156/165 — Expedition Base Set

## Summary

Potion is a bulk Trainer from the first e-Card era, a stock healing effect that sat in the common slots and rarely earned a deck spot once better recovery and disruption crowded it out. Keiji Kinebuchi is a name only dedicated illustrator-collectors tend to notice, so demand stays quiet and completist-driven. The modelled guide sits at $0.49, down 6% over 30 days on 32 copies traded, with 567 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $16, 32 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
