# Lt. Surge's Electrode #52/132 — Gym Challenge

## Summary

The modelled guide sits at $2.90, up 2% over 30 days on 24 copies traded, with only 30 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $40, 14 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
