# Energy Restore #81/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Energy Restore is a coin-flip recovery Trainer from the very first Ruby & Sapphire print run, and its randomness kept it a curiosity next to steadier draw and search options. As an uncommon among the set's Trainers it never anchored a pull, so collectors treat it as a quiet completionist card. A $0.44 modelled guide, down 21% over 30 days on 11 copies traded, says bulk, with 150 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a CGC 10 brings $49, 112 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
