# Jirachi-EX #98/101 — Plasma Blast

## Summary

Jirachi-EX carried real tournament weight in the Black & White era, its bench-sit Supporter search making it a staple of Plasma-era decks. As a mythical wish-granter with a loyal Hoenn following, plus an Ultra Rare slot where the EX was the chase, demand runs on both players and fans. The modelled guide sits at $180, up 6% over 7 days on 15 copies traded in 30 days, with only 30 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $24,600 and a 7% observed gem rate putting about $1,100 of expected profit per submission.
