About this card’s market
Asking prices run from $0.10 to $18.34. A spread that wide says more about individual listings than about the card — the market price above is what copies actually sold for.
In Europe the card has been sliding: the 24-hour average is 40% below the 30-day one.
It sits 86th of 101 priced cards in Base Set, in the cheaper half of the set.
It is a Uncommon card, printed in 1999, illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi.
It has been out of tournament play for two decades — what is left is collector demand.
