Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $15.00 - $22.00; Graded (PSA 10): $45.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Recent market trends show raw copies consistently selling between $16 and $20 on platforms like TCGPlayer and eBay. PSA 9 copies often sell for slightly more than raw, while PSA 10 copies command a significant premium.
Condition Details
From the image, the centering appears slightly bottom-heavy. Edges and corners look sharp with no visible whitening on the front surface. Surface seems clean without prominent scratches or print lines.
Grading Recommendation
Moderate recommendation. If the back is as clean as the front and it achieves a PSA 10, the value roughly triples. If it receives a PSA 9, the cost of grading may equal or exceed the value added.
Card Description
This card provides Darkness Energy. As a Basic Energy card, it does not have additional effect text, but it features a full-card gold etched holofoil design unique to secret rare energy prints.
Notable Features
This is a Secret Rare 'Gold' Energy. It features a textured surface (etching) and a gold border, distinguishing it from standard basic energy cards found in booster packs.
Authentication Notes
The texture pattern (fine ridges and swirls) is a primary indicator of authenticity for this era of Secret Rares. The font and 'Energy' logo align with 2020-era Sword & Shield series prints.
