Cardmarket rolling averages for the reverse holo print.
| Window | Average sale |
|---|---|
| Last 24 hours | €5.00 |
| Last 7 days | €5.80 |
| Last 30 days | €4.12 |
The 24-hour average has risen 21% against the 30-day average — €4.12 to €5.00. A single day is a thin sample; treat it as direction, not as a price.
Note the weekly average of €5.80 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
Asking prices run from $12.68 to $380. 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 climbing: the 24-hour average is 21% above the 30-day one.
It sits 110th of 165 priced cards in Expedition Base Set.
It is a Uncommon card, printed in 2002, illustrated by Ken Sugimori.
It has been out of tournament play for two decades — what is left is collector demand.
