# Metal Energy #008/008 — Mega Evolution Energy

## Summary

Metal Energy is a basic Energy, the kind that fuels Steel decks and sits in the binder purely as a utility pull. A common in an energy-only product was never a chase slot, so demand rests on completionists and players stocking Steel lists. At a $0.14 modelled guide, up 8% over 30 days on 432 copies traded, with 91 days of inventory on the board, 43% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.08 out of Scarlet & Violet Energy; no PSA population is on file.
