Metal Energy #97
Beat of the Frontier · Japanese printing · Uncommon
Unchanged since Sep 18, 2026, when it was $1.99
US TCGplayer market price for the Japanese card. It is a different product from the English printing and the two prices are never mixed. The site has no Japanese pull-rate data, so it gives no odds for this card.

Raw · Lightly Played to Damaged
no sourced price
The site has no source for played-copy prices yet, and does not estimate one from the Near Mint price.
Graded (PSA, CGC, BGS and others)
no sourced price
The site has no source for graded sales yet, and none of the prices above is an eBay sale.
TCGplayer does not say which condition its per-printing market price is for; in this site’s check of five English Pokémon cards in October 2026 it matched TCGplayer’s Near Mint price, so it is labelled Near Mint here. The baseline row is the card’s own price.

What these searches leave out
Proxies, lots, code cards and other-language printings are excluded, and results are Buy It Now from US sellers, sorted by price plus shipping. Listings whose titles name PSA, CGC, BGS, SGC or Beckett, or say graded or slab, are left out too: the market price is for a raw (ungraded) card, and a graded slab is a different product with its own price. A slab from another company can still appear, so check the photos. Market is a Near Mint price, so check the condition on each listing. The search only matches listings that say Japanese, JPN or JP in the title, and the market price is for the Japanese printing. “Recently sold” opens eBay’s own sold listings for the same search, auctions included: what copies sold for, on eBay’s site. This site records none of those prices. You can save either search on eBay to be emailed new matches.
