Before you buy

No reliable price

Price

No reliable price

Median asking prices sit far above the recent-sales market price, so this price fails our reliability check.

Versus the market

Not enough trading to say

Its listings are too thin to trust the price, so it is not compared with the market.

The next 60 days

No forecast

The price isn't reliable enough to project (asking prices far above recent sales), so no range or chance of beating the market is shown.

Price history, listings and card analysis

Blaine's Quiz #1 097/132 Gym Heroes 1st Edition (1st Edition).

Beating the market, or just riding it?

Not enough trading to say

Its listings are too thin to trust the price, 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?

Scores 86, but do not trust it

Median asking prices are 8.7x the recent-sales market price. That gap can reflect outlier asks or a thin market; it does not tell us how many copies are listed. Check the listings before believing this ranking. The score is computed the same way as for every other card, and on this one the ingredients are being fed by a listing that does not represent a real market. Treat the ranking as unreliable until the listings look normal again.

Why is it interesting?

Not meaningful here

Median asking prices sit far above the recent-sales market price, so this price fails our reliability check. The ingredients are read off those listings, so they describe one seller's price rather than the card.

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 $28.60

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?

A Rare from a 26-year-old set

Rare is a widely printed rarity - 6,033 tracked cards share it. This is the 1st Edition printing, which is priced as a completely separate market from the other printings of the same artwork. The set is about 26 years old, so surviving copies in good condition get scarcer over time.

Could you actually buy or sell it?

Slowly - it rarely trades

The price changed in 19% of our checks over the past year across 365 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?

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.
