Cardmarket rolling averages for the reverse holo print.
| Window | Average sale |
|---|---|
| Last 24 hours | €3.00 |
| Last 7 days | €7.28 |
| Last 30 days | €5.52 |
The 24-hour average has fallen 46% against the 30-day average — €5.52 to €3.00. A single day is a thin sample; treat it as direction, not as a price.
Note the weekly average of €7.28 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.
