There is no price because this card never reaches the marketplace — it can only be earned. Holding it costs you nothing, because you could not sell it if you wanted to.
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.
