# Rotom V #177/196 — Lost Origin

## Summary

Rotom V earned its tournament standing through Instant Charge, a draw engine that slotted into many decks and stayed in lists across its Standard run. In Lost Origin it was an ultra rare, a real pull rather than filler, and Yuu Nishida's name adds a second reason to look. The modelled guide sits at $27, down 13% over 30 days on 51 copies traded, with 76 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $123, 4.6 times raw, but a 33% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
