# Metal Energy #19/111 — Neo Genesis

## Summary

Metal Energy is a Special Energy from the first set to introduce Steel typing, and its damage reduction made it a quiet defensive tool for Metal decks in a format where such decks barely existed. Rare here means a utility pull, not a chase, so interest comes from Neo completionists and Wizards-era nostalgia. At a $17 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 25 copies traded, with 606 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.10 out of XY trainer Kit (Bisharp); PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
