Descriptive market data, not investment advice. The Hoshino Score measures how deep, liquid, widely-traded, dear and scarce this card’s market is from sales and population records we hold. It is not a forecast, not a recommendation, and not a rating of this card as an investment.
Price by grade
What each grade’s real sales say — median of what actually sold.
Each grade is priced on the median of its own real sales — never averaged across grades, and never across printings. A 1st Edition, Shadowless or No Rarity copy is a different market from the ordinary print, so it gets its own row; where a grade holds sales of more than one printing and we cannot tell which copy sold, it is shown without a price — we abstain rather than publish the blend.

Cross-market comparisons and arbitrage routes are computed within one grade — PSA 10 against PSA 10, raw against raw. A route is never built from two different grades.

The 4 most recent — confirmed sales first, then estimates; distinct price points, identical re-ingested rows count once, never stacked. Venue is the marketplace the sale actually cleared on — eBay, Goldin, ALT, Fanatics, SNKRDUNK and the rest — established from the sale’s own listing URL, its auction house, or the feed’s own declaration of the venue. A via tag names the data feed that delivered the record; the feed is never the venue. Where none of those establish a marketplace the row says venue not disclosed rather than naming one we cannot prove. Rows tagged guide are marketplace price-guide points (TCGplayer market / Cardmarket trend), not confirmed sales; rows tagged est. are inferred from a listing that left the market, not directly-recorded sales. Rows tagged recorded come from a venue that publishes no sale date — Mercari Japan publishes none — so the date shown is the day we recorded the sale, an upper bound on when it sold. The price is real either way; we do not invent a date.

Every point is a real population reading taken on the date shown — first reading 2026-08-13, latest 2026-09-19 (37 days). That is the whole window we hold for this card; it is not a one-year trend and we will not present it as one. A population can only grow — a card cannot be un-graded — so where a reading came back lower than the one before it, that is a partial crawl and the series carries the higher figure forward rather than drawing a fall that never happened.
Why this matters: scarcity is a flow, not a constant. A tier whose count is climbing is getting less scarce while its price chart says nothing at all — and a tier that has not moved in weeks is holding its scarcity. Nobody else publishes this per grade.

Which printing?
One card number, several print runs — they trade at very different prices. Here is the market price of each printing we track.
These are daily market prices per printing (where listings sit), which can run higher than the market price shown at the top of this page. A print run is a distinct printing (Unlimited, Shadowless, 1st Edition, No Rarity), not a grade — each has its own series and never blends into the others.

What Energy Removal actually does
The printed card — its attacks, what they cost, what it is weak to, and whether it is still tournament legal.
Pulled from
These are the sealed products from this card’s set that we price as their own markets. We are not putting an expected pull value on them: that needs published, verified pull rates per rarity, and for this set we do not hold them — our sealed engine abstains on 4,592 of the 4,596 products it tracks for exactly that reason. A pack EV computed from unverified odds would be a guess wearing a decimal point.
