Cardmarket rolling averages for the reverse holo print.
| Window | Average sale |

| Last 30 days | €2.93 |
The 24-hour average has fallen 25% against the 30-day average — €2.93 to €2.20. A single day is a thin sample; treat it as direction, not as a price.
Note the weekly average of €5.99 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
Copies on sale run from $2.00 to $32.34 — a 16× spread that comes from condition, not from the card. Read the listing before you read the price.
In Europe the card has been sliding: the 24-hour average is 25% below the 30-day one.
It sits 98th of 100 priced cards in Dragon, in the cheaper half of the set.
It is a Uncommon card, printed in 2003, illustrated by Katsura Tabata.
It has been out of tournament play for two decades — what is left is collector demand.
