Its interest score of - out of 100 is driven most by seller confidence — sellers undercutting. Blue bars pushed the score up, red bars pulled it down. The ingredients are weighted by how well each one has actually predicted price moves in this market, measured on your own price history rather than assumed. Could not be measured for this card: 1-month trend, unusual move, 2-month trend, price steadiness, 4-month trend — the score is worked out from the rest.

What the numbers say

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?

Sellers undercutting and near its 12-month high

People selling are asking less than the card recently sold for - holders are competing to get out. It is trading close to its best price of the past year.

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?

$3.08 - expensive for its set

At $3.08 it is expensive for its set - number 14 of 60 by price. Against other Common cards it sits at the 81th percentile - toward the top. It is at or near its highest price of the past year.

What makes this card unusual?

An ordinary Common from a 16-year-old set

Common is a common tier - 12,381 tracked cards share it. The set is about 16 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 4% 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.

Is grading worth considering?

No

At $3.08 raw, grading costs roughly $22.00 - more than the card itself. Only worth it for sentimental reasons. This is a vintage set, where condition varies far more between copies and grading matters correspondingly more. This is a rule of thumb from the card's raw price, age and price stability. We track raw ungraded prices only - no graded sales and no population data - so this cannot tell you what a PSA 10 of this card is worth. Check a graded price guide before spending money.

What happens next
