# Grass Energy #104/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Basic Energy was the filler of every Ruby & Sapphire pack, a necessary card that nobody opened a booster hoping to see. Its appeal now is purely completionist, a quiet piece of the first Hoenn-era set for binder builders who refuse to leave a slot empty. A $0.33 modelled guide, down 3% over 30 days on 12 copies traded, says bulk, with 310 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a CGC 10 brings $5.50, 17 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
