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 history

We do not have enough price observations for this card to compare it with the market.

Is it expensive or cheap?

$0.35 - cheap for its set

At $0.35 it is one of the cheaper cards in its set - number 1741 of 1989 by price. It costs more than 26% of other Rare cards we track.

What makes this card unusual?

An ordinary Rare from a 8-year-old set

Rare is a widely printed rarity - 6,033 tracked cards share it. This is the Holofoil printing, which is priced as a completely separate market from the other printings of the same artwork. 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?

Fee exceeds raw price

A roughly $22.00 grading fee is 6286% of the $0.35 raw price. Raw price plus fee comes to about $22.35, before shipping, insurance or selling costs. That is a cost comparison, not an estimate of a graded copy's value. 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.
