# Fire Energy #284/264 — Fusion Strike

## Summary

A Secret Rare basic Energy is a rare thing: a card nobody plays for its power, since any copy does the same job, yet one that completes a full run of the set's gold and rainbow treatments. Demand comes from completionists and Fire-type fans, not from tournament tables. At a $4.95 modelled guide, down 6% over 30 days on 72 copies traded, with 52 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.16 out of Scarlet & Violet Energy; a PSA 10 guides at $50, 10 times raw, but a 43% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
