12the game always paysNobody currently has both a buy order and a listing on this card, so there is no honest price to quote.
It is our own score for how good a card is. Rather than trust the number the game prints on the front, it reads the card's actual ratings — power, contact, fielding and the rest — and weighs them the way the game appears to. It runs past 100 because those underlying ratings do.
Where this card's 68.5 comes from · How the whole thing was built
What the market is doingthe asking price, and what it is really selling for
The cheapest listing is 28, but the last 200 sales averaged 63 (over 2 days). Either somebody has listed under the going rate, or the price is falling faster than that average has caught up. 200 sales, over 2 days.
What he actually does
A very good velocity, with average control behind it. He misses bats at an average rate, and the free passes are a real risk. An inning or two at most — this is a bullpen card.
