# Potion #177/202 — Sword & Shield

## Summary

Potion is a humble healing Item from the opening Sword & Shield set, an uncommon that rarely saw serious play because 30 damage rarely mattered against fast, hard-hitting decks. Ryo Ueda's name gives it a small draw for illustrator collectors, though demand stays modest. A $0.13 modelled guide, up 18% over 30 days on 2 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,134 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
