# Evolution Incense #163/202 — Sword & Shield

## Summary

Evolution Incense is a plain Item, one of the first search cards of the Sword & Shield era, built to fetch whichever Evolution a deck needed and nothing more. Uncommon in a base set, it was filler pulled by the handful, so interest here is for playsets and Ryo Ueda completists. The modelled guide sits at $0.18, down 31% over 30 days on 121 copies traded, with 280 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $32, 176 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
