Beating the market, or just riding it?
Not enough trading to say
It trades too rarely, or has too little recent price history, for a 2-month comparison with the market to mean anything.
Describes the last 2 months, not what happens next. Not investment advice.
Is this card interesting right now?
Not scored
This card does not trade often enough for the signals to mean anything, so it is left unscored rather than given a misleading number.
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?
$73.97 - expensive for its set
At $73.97 it is one of the priciest cards in its set - number 7 of 161 by price. It costs more than 76% of other Special Illustration Rare cards we track. It is 35% below its 12-month high. Worth knowing: in this market cards near their highs have gone on to do better than deeply discounted ones, so a big discount is not automatically a bargain.
What makes this card unusual?
Special Illustration Rare - genuinely scarce
Only 232 of the cards we track are Special Illustration Rare - under 0.5% of them. This is the Holofoil printing, which is priced as a completely separate market from the other printings of the same artwork. The set is brand new - prices this early are driven by hype and packs still being opened, and usually settle downward.
Could you actually buy or sell it?
Easily - it trades often
The price changed in 100% of our checks over the past year across 16 observations. TCGplayer's market price only updates when a copy sells, so a low figure means the price shown may be stale and any trend reading is built on very few real sales.
How does the grading fee compare?
Material fee versus raw price
A roughly $22.00 grading fee is 30% of the $73.97 raw price. Raw price plus fee comes to about $95.97, 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.
