# Fire Crystal #231/214 — Unbroken Bonds

## Summary

Fire Crystal is a gold Secret Rare Item from Unbroken Bonds, the sort of top-of-set slot that Trainer collectors pursue even when the Tag Team cards steal the spotlight. Its Fire Energy recovery served Reshiram & Charizard-GX decks, giving the gold some real tournament history. The modelled guide sits at $8.42, up 10% over 30 days on 12 copies traded, with 219 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $51, 6.1 times raw, but a 50% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
