Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM)
Estimated Market Value
$0.05 - $0.25 (Raw)
Recent Sales
Bulk Basic Energy cards typically sell for pennies or are included as filler in larger lots. High-volume sellers often list these for approximately $0.10 to $0.20.
Condition Details
From the image, the centering looks slightly heavy toward the bottom edge. Corners appear sharp and edges show no immediate visible whitening, though a back-side inspection is required for a definitive grade.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of the grading service (approx. $15-$25) significantly exceeds the market value of the card even at a Gem Mint 10 grade.
Card Description
Provides 1 Darkness Energy for the purpose of paying attack costs or retreat costs for Pokemon cards that require Darkness Energy types.
Notable Features
Features the 2021 copyright date and the modern horizontal 'ENERGY' text along the left border. This is a non-holo version.
Authentication Notes
The font, energy symbol layout, and border color are consistent with authentic Pokemon TCG products from the Sword & Shield era. The rosette pattern is visible in the print gradient.
