# Switch #194/198 — Scarlet & Violet

## Summary

Switch is the plainest of retreat tools, a Common Item that was a fixture in competitive lists long before this printing, and it has been reprinted constantly. Demand here is purely practical: players grab copies for decks, while collectors pass over it without a second glance. At a $0.24 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 428 copies traded, with only 27 days of inventory on the board, 8% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.22 out of Mega Evolution; no PSA population is on file.
