# Darkness Energy #81/83 — Generations

## Summary

Darkness Energy in Generations is a plain basic Energy, filler in the truest sense, and it carried no tournament weight of its own since players ran stock basics by the dozen. Interest comes only from set completionists and anyone filling out a Generations binder. At a $0.85 modelled guide, with 54 copies traded in 30 days, with the tape reading as a floor forming near the lows, 82% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.15 out of Scarlet & Violet Energy; no PSA population is on file.
