Two kinds of writing sit here, and every card says which it is. Measured pieces are data reports: every figure in them is computed from the TCGplayer price snapshot and re-checked against the source data on every build. Demo pieces are illustrative content written by fictional personas to fill the templates — the market events they describe did not happen. See About & Disclaimers.
SpeculationDemoAhri's Signature print already outprices every other Signature in Origins, Kai'Sa's included. A ten-year call on it becoming Riftbound's flagship chase card, and the honest case against it.
SpeculationDemoStarred and lettered variants are supposed to carry a premium over their base printings. In this catalogue they do so barely half the time, and the exceptions are not random.
SpeculationDemoFive Legends in this catalogue exist as ordinary Rares. They are liquid, cheap relative to their Showcase counterparts, and nobody writes about them. That is the whole thesis.
