Start with what people are actually doing: 2,005 new gradings of this catalog landed inside a month. That is real money spent on plastic, and it is the heaviest input in the score. The market already pays up for this art: Mew (Holo) from Expedition Base Set books $150,000 in PSA 10 on PriceCharting, which anchors the value component near the top of the tracker. The forums are silent on the name right now, which caps the score; everything above comes from measured market behavior rather than conversation.
