# Dowsing Machine #128/135 — Plasma Storm

## Summary

Dowsing Machine is an Item with a real competitive pedigree: its effect recycled Supporters and Items during the Black & White era, which made it a quiet engine piece in many lists. Ryo Ueda's name adds a little for illustrator-minded collectors, but demand here is mostly players, not binder fans. The modelled guide sits at $5.97 with no copies traded in 30 days; a PSA 10 brings $162, 27 times raw, but a 15% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade, and the slabbed population has not grown in 30 days, slower than 87% of tracked cards.
