Fire Energy #98 — Base Set

Fire Energy sits between Fighting Energy and Grass Energy in binder order. The fetched record gives it as a no recorded rarity Energy card, drawn by Keiji Kinebuchi.

CATALOGUED · NOT YET PRICED

No completed public sale for Fire Energy has been verified into our ledger yet. Until eight verified sales for a single printing-and-grade cell are recorded, there is nothing to take a median of, so this page prints no figure. No estimate, no range, no placeholder.

The record we hold

Set: Base Set (1999)
Card number: 98 / 102
Rarity: not recorded in the fetched checklist
Card type: Energy
HP: —
Holofoil: No
Illustrator: Illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi

Its binder neighbours are Fighting Energy (#97) and Grass Energy (#99). Fire Energy was printed without a holofoil panel; 16 of the 102 cards carry one. The record carries no HP for it — Energy cards do not print one. By checklist position it is 98 of 102, which puts it in the last third of the binder.

Which printing you are holding

Base Set shipped in three waves, so "Fire Energy" names three separate market objects. 1st Edition carries the edition stamp and a flat frame; Shadowless drops the stamp and keeps the flat frame; Unlimited restores the drop shadow. Priced, Fire Energy would carry one cell per printing — blending three print runs into one median states a price no one paid.
