# Ultra Ball #90/101 — Plasma Blast

## Summary

Ultra Ball let any deck fetch any Pokémon, which kept it in most competitive lists through the Black & White years. As a plain uncommon from 5ban Graphics, its appeal has always belonged to players who need copies, not collectors chasing a chase slot. A $0.54 modelled guide, down 2% over 30 days on 18 copies traded, says bulk, with 879 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $36, 66 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
