# Genesect-EX #97/101 — Plasma Blast

## Summary

Genesect-EX was a Plasma Blast headliner in the Black & White era, when Plasma Energy decks leaned on the free Red Signal gust to drag up Benched targets. As an Ultra Rare in that set, it was a genuine chase pull, and 5ban Graphics' work adds to its appeal. At a $283 modelled guide, with 8 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.71 out of Black Bolt; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $13,000 and a 4% observed gem rate putting about $450 of expected profit per submission.
