Ancient Technical Machine [Rock] - 2006 (Jimmy Ballard) 85/101 · World Championship Decks

Beating the market, or just riding it?

Not enough trading to say

It is outside the cards we analyse (usually because it is too cheap or too new), so it is not compared with the market.

Describes the last 2 months, not what happens next. Not investment advice.

Is this card interesting right now?

Not analysed

This card sits below the $2.00 floor the analysis uses. That cut-off exists because percentage moves on near-worthless cards are mostly rounding, and admitting them measurably degrades the ranking for every other card — it is not a judgement on this one. Its recorded price history is shown above; only the scoring is absent.

Why is it interesting?

No score to explain

It has no interest score, so there is no ranking to break down.

Is it becoming more popular?

Not enough trading to say

Median asking prices sit far above the recent-sales market price, so this price fails our reliability check. A trend measured from that figure would say nothing about how the card is doing against the market.

Is it expensive or cheap?

No reliable price - last recorded $1.00

Median asking prices sit far above the recent-sales market price, so this price fails our reliability check. The last recorded figure is shown for reference only, so it is not ranked against the rest of its set. The listings and recent sales on TCGplayer are the place to judge what a copy costs.

What makes this card unusual?

An Uncommon from a 8-year-old set

Uncommon is a widely printed rarity - 11,470 tracked cards share it. The set is about 8 years old, so surviving copies in good condition get scarcer over time.

Could you actually buy or sell it?

Unknown

Not enough observations to judge.

How does the grading fee compare?

Cannot say - no reliable price

Median asking prices sit far above the recent-sales market price, so this price fails our reliability check. The grading maths starts from what a raw copy is worth, so there is nothing to work it out from. We track raw ungraded prices only - no graded sales and no population data. We cannot assess this copy's condition or tell you what a PSA 10 is worth. Check condition and comparable graded sales before deciding whether grading would pay off.
