Low grading population — gem rates based on only 41 graded cards may be unreliable, and the market for this card in graded form may be illiquid. This card was released recently (1 months ago). Prices for new releases are volatile — by the time grading is complete, the market price may have shifted. Consider waiting for prices to stabilize.
