The 24-hour figure sits too far from the 30-day one to describe a month of trading, so we draw no conclusion from it. Cardmarket publishes averages but not how many copies they are averaged over, and we will not guess at the reason. The source figures are shown above without interpretation.

About this card’s market

Asking prices run from $4.81 to $96.71. A spread that wide says more about individual listings than about the card — the market price above is what copies actually sold for.

It sits 90th of 100 priced cards in Dragon, in the cheaper half of the set.

It is a Uncommon card, printed in 2003, illustrated by Ken Sugimori.

It has been out of tournament play for two decades — what is left is collector demand.
