# Superior Energy Retrieval #189/193 — Paldea Evolved

## Summary

Superior Energy Retrieval was a workhorse Item in Scarlet & Violet-era decks that ran heavy Energy loads, trading two cards for up to four Basics back in hand. As an Uncommon in a deep set, it's a utility pull, valued by players rather than binder collectors. A $0.32 modelled guide, up 10% over 30 days on 26 copies traded, says bulk, with 202 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $32, 99 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
