Cardmarket rolling averages for the holo print.

| Last 30 days | €64.46 |
The 24-hour average has risen 55% against the 30-day average — €64.46 to €100. A single day is a thin sample; treat it as direction, not as a price.
Note the weekly average of €50.43 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.
