Cardmarket rolling averages for the reverse holo print.
| Window | Average sale |
|---|---|
| Last 24 hours | €2.00 |
| Last 7 days | €4.02 |
| Last 30 days | €3.43 |
The 24-hour average has fallen 42% against the 30-day average — €3.43 to €2.00. A single day is a thin sample; treat it as direction, not as a price.
Note the weekly average of €4.02 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.
