# Premier Ball #101/106 — Great Encounters

## Summary

Premier Ball was a quiet enabler of the Diamond & Pearl era's Level-Up game, fetching a Pokémon LV.X from deck or discard when the format leaned on those finishers. As an uncommon Trainer it was never a pull anyone chased, so demand stays small and utility-driven. The modelled guide sits at $1.01, down 2% over 30 days on 4 copies traded, with 100 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
