Cardmarket rolling averages for the normal print.

| Last 30 days | €0.10 |
The 24-hour average has fallen 40% against the 30-day average — €0.10 to €0.06. A single day is a thin sample; treat it as direction, not as a price.
Note the weekly average of €0.17 sitting outside both the daily and the monthly figure. That happens when only a handful of copies change hands, and one sale drags the average with it. On a card this thinly traded, none of these three numbers is a price you can count on.
About this card’s market
Asking prices run from $0.04 to $7.40. A spread that wide says more about individual listings than about the card — the market price above is what copies actually sold for.
TCGplayer Direct has it at $0.20, below the market price — that is the cheapest verified-condition copy sitting in their warehouse right now.
In Europe the card has been sliding: the 24-hour average is 40% below the 30-day one.
It sits joint 118th of 122 priced cards in Base Set 2, in the cheaper half of the set.
It is a Common card, printed in 2000, illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi.
It is still legal in Standard, so tournament demand is part of the price.
