# Energy Switch #61/83 — Generations

## Summary

Energy Switch is a utility Item that players picked up for deck consistency, never for flash, and it has been reprinted across many eras. As an uncommon it was filler in Generations, and 5ban Graphics is a studio credit, so collectors treat it as a binder-completion pickup. A $0.21 modelled guide, down 16% over 30 days on 7 copies traded, says bulk, with 627 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $38, 182 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
