# Counter Gain #230/214 — Lost Thunder

## Summary

Counter Gain gave trailing decks a cheaper way back into the game, and it earned real tournament slots in a format built around Prize races. As a secret rare Trainer in a large set, it sits well above bulk, and Toyste Beach's name adds some appeal. At a $9.03 modelled guide, up 2% over 30 days on 2 copies traded, with 508 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.14 out of Ascended Heroes; no PSA population is on file.
